Off and on topic. Just read up on a candidate for NY Governors race, Larry Sharpe. Hoping someone with similiar political ideas jumps into the fold for CT's Governors race.

She's also 71. That's old to be starting out as governor. What I've heard is that the field is going to be weak because nobody really wants the job, especially on the Democratic side.

It also has out of control homelessness/poverty/income inequality. One of the smallest middle classes in the country.

Actually, that’s Connecticut. We statistically have the largest gap between rich and poor, with Bridgeport-Stamford being the most unequal metropolitan area in the nation.

Was going to say the same. Although we don’t have even close to the homeless problem, especially Bay Area.

This is true, has a lot to do with our cold months I think. But for income inequality, southern CT leads the pack.

Low income people are better off here than people that live in the south.
