Lamont Invites Republican Legislators to Be His Valentine.
Governor Ned Lamont must think Republican legislators don’t celebrate love. The Greenwich Democrat has invited Republican legislators to meet with him at the Governor’s Residence on February 14th from 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. No guests are allowed.
The Valentine’s Day evening invite will make it a challenge for some Republicans to get home or to some romantic setting to celebrate the annual festival of chocolate and roses. The new governor and his budget team may want to use the occasion to whisper budget numbers in Republican ears to prepare them for what’s ahead.
Here’s the invitation from Lamont aide Chris Soto:
Dear Legislators,
On behalf of Governor Ned Lamont, I’m reaching out to invite you to a cocktail reception next Thursday at the residence in Hartford. This is an informal meet & greet for the Republican Caucus to get to know the Governor as we work together to move our state forward. Unfortunately, no additional guests are allowed and we ask that you RSVP by Friday.
We hope you will join us on Thursday, February 14th, at 990 Prospect Avenue from 5:30-7:00pm. Parking is available on the street. Please RSVP to Amanda.Klay@ct.gov
We look forward to seeing you Thursday!
Best,
Chris
