Patch’s Poll: Has Malloy Accomplished a Lot As Governor So Far?

Connecticut’s chief elected official lists all his successes during the first 18 months in office in an interview with WFSB.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has no disappointments and is very happy being governor of Connecticut, according to statements he made on WFSB’s “Face the State" program on Sunday.

Malloy also told the Sunday news show he’s accomplished a lot in his first 18 months in office, such as “nearly balancing the state budget, winning education reform and pushing legislation to permit Sunday liquor sales,” according to a report by The Associated Press.

Malloy was elected in 2010 by a small margin after beating Republican candidate Tom Foley. He’s the first Democrat to hold the office of governor in two decades.

, the governor said that would be due to lawmakers overestimating the pace of the national economic recovery, according to the AP.

No, North Korea isn't making me nervous. They're just a bunch of big mouthed small minded windRead More bags. What really makes me nervous are the politicians currently in power around here, namely Dan Malloy and Barack Obama. They make me plenty more nervous than Kim Jong Un...

ADHD is a real disorder but is way over-diagnosed. When a boy isn't engaged (bored, not challenged),Read More he's slapped with a label. Sometimes drugs are appropriate, other times it could mean that he needs to move up a grade level or be stimulated in another way. But other times its just covering problems up. I'd like to know what other countries do that diagnose ADHD.

Why not name Marriage between people of the same sex "Gayrriage" and make them as valid asRead More marriage. It may keep more people happy.

And there is the great thing about the Internet. I came here (just found Patch the other day) forRead More some civil discussion about local events with people in my community and not one post later it devolves to, essentially, name calling by anonymous users. It’s the most perfect constant in the universe. Anyway, no, 17 years is not that long in the grand scheme of things, but this is not the 1950’s. And I don’t see why in this case it’s Bill Clinton’s values. He signed the law, but I fail to see how that effects the current discussion. It would seem to be the values of the country as whole that are changing.
