Danger, Will Robinson! Jonathan Pelto Makes His Case on Face the State.

Dennis House invited Jonathan Pelto to talk about his gestating plans to run for governor as an independent candidate. Pelto, who sounds fluent on a range of topics and appears at ease in the extended segment, hit notes that are likely to please an array of interested voters and alarm Malloy insiders. There must have been some tension in the bunker Sunday.

The former Storrs state representative and Democratic operative talked about Malloy’s curious hostility to public school teachers and his, as Pelto sees it, poor record on higher education. Tax increases on some but not others also earned an extended mention.

You can watch the opening segment of Sunday’s edition of Face the State here.

Pelto also appeared on Fox CT.
