Maybe because he's an idiot.

I think Stefanowski is a terrible choice for the Republican candidate but he has written about crime in CT paper's as well:

Governor Lamont is now proposing some changes to our gun laws and to add 500 new police officers. It’s a start but he needs to address the laws and policies that are not discouraging juvenile crime and police accountability. These are very important if he truly wants to address our crime problem.

Let’s not move goal posts here. The allegation is that he has been silent on juvenile crime. Just two months ago, he wrote that massive article outlining what he wishes to see. That means he has not been silent on the issue.

It doesn’t appear Lamont is planning to add 500 police officers. He’s “calling on” local cities and towns to add them. If he truly felt this was necessary, he should send these cities and towns state funds specifically for this. To my knowledge, that’s not happening.

What good are 500 police officers if the laws in place by him don’t let them do their job? It’s a manipulative announcement meant purely for optics.

Not to mention that he wrote an op-ed (link in earlier post) with Fasano about crime- including juvenile crime- less than one month ago.

I read the stamford advocate piece and not a word on policy regarding juvenile crime. Complaining about something doesn't mean any thing.


Here;'s a little nugget you guys can think about.


The average cost to house a juvenile in prison in the US is $87,000 per year. You think Stefanowski can find enough money to cover this cost with his state agency audits ?

Perhaps the threat of punishment would keep some from choosing a life of crime.

Not with teenagers. Adults maybe.


Again the US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. So no one in this country is soft on crime regardless of political party.

We lead the world in many things. We strive to do better. Crime is way up in the last year.
Should that be deemed to be acceptable? Most think not.
