What About the Rest of Us? Lamont Declares New Haven “Most Important Region of the State.”

Caitlyn Jenner is not the only cosseted candidate who careened off-script this week. Governor Ned Lamont reminded Republican hopefuls why they might have a chance against him next year. Our goofy good shepherd did it again. The Greenwich Democrat made a damaging declaration at the announcement of plans to expand Tweed New Haven Airport.

It was not enough to unveil the $100 million plan to bring a new airline to the small airport. No, Lamont had to ratchet up the moment by adding New Haven is “the most important region of the state.” Millions of Connecticut residents not living within 10 miles of Yale, where Lamont attended graduate school, will dissent. Expect to see the quote in strategically placed ads in the campaign ahead.
