Just One Thing for October 18th.
There’s a lot of politics about as we are two weeks from the finish line. Nevertheless, there ought to be some time for serious public policy issues. The Economist provides a look at the looming crisis that will confront governors across the legislation: public pensions. Our political leaders have been delusional in their creation and handling of this time bomb. It’s worth reading.

Tom Foley has lost this middle class housewife’s confidence, trust, and VOTE.
My family votes Republican, but not this year, not for Mr. Foley.
My lady friends in the neighborhood say the same thing, more or less: that Foley has too many skeletons that he is masking with TV ads and skilled public relations. Money buys that, ya know. But all the money in the world cannot buy credibility and most importantly integrity.
Dan Malloy should stand proud, with his head held high, on his overall good results for 14 years in leading Stamford. And Malloy does not have to cover up a messy divorce. Malloy does not have to gloss over two arrests. Malloy does not have to explain repeatedly that he really didn’t ruin a whole town and thousands of workers as a greedy corporate raider. Malloy does not have to explain to us that his mansion and yacht and fancy jets were all paid for on the backs of people who suffered under a Harvard buy-out artist. Malloy will never have to explain how some of the money was used to curry favor and an ambassadorship with ” George W.” Malloy has never falsified a Federal Security Clearance document or lied to a Congressional committee about it.
Too many secrets, Mr. Foley. Too many skeletons. Too much baggage.
Mr. Foley does not deserve our trust, and he does not deserve to “BUY” the Governor’s desk with his millions spent on TV advertisements.
I am telling all of my friends to tell all of their friends: “Foley is bad news for CT, send him back to Greenwich with his raider tail between his legs.”
