In a roomful of supporters and agency heads, tears broke the governor’s businesslike façade.
Dannel P. Malloy said his rejection of a third term, a decision he announced Thursday afternoon, frees him from partisan politics so he can better steer the sharply divided General Assembly through its current budget crisis.
In January 2019, Malloy will begin the next act of a life that began as a dyslectic child in Stamford, led to law school, a stint as a criminal prosecutor, mayor of his hometown and nearly seven years in the Governor’s Residence. […]
With low popularity ratings, a $1.7 billion budget deficit and recent GOP gains in the Legislature, it was less likely that Malloy, the first Democratic governor since 1991, could hold on for another four years. …

Is Sean Spicer from Ct?
Dyslexic.
Rhode Island, IIRC. Next stop northbound on the Acela Distress.
“Dislectic”
Wut? Is that what they call being a treacherous piece of sh!t in CT ?
He’s not running for governor again ? I bet he still wins.
No. Dislectic.
Axe anyone.
Their is another thread running about how unpopular Chris Christie is via a pole. Let me tell you it is bogus, Malloy is reviled even more especially amongst the RTKABA crowd. I know two CT residence who can’t wait to get vested, retire, and go so with their firearms...
Malloy is a corrupt, Obamunist poc who deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life.
Malloy is a nutjob. Even some sane people (all 3 of them) know that he’s a leftist loser. Connecticut will be a little safer when he’s gone (to the booby hatch).
P malloy.
Careful of what we wish for.....a Kennedy is waiting in the wings.
Camelot anyone? Nickel tax on plastic shopping bags? Mandatory organ donation? “End The R-Word” campaign. Tolls.
You name it, he wants it. Wants *you* to pay for it.
Nope; born on Long Island; grew up in RI; attended Connecticut College though [NL]
Malloy has been a total disaster.
But for those who accessorize with the acceptable politics—that is, the Jareds and Ivankas of NYC North who voted him in—the disconnect with how bad he has been for the state knows no bounds.
Democrat voters know no shame.
That state is ripe for a Scott Walker type to yank it from the Democrat column. Is one out there?
He's not running because he knows he wouldn't win - everybody hates him - even a lot of the Demoncrats. He was asked (told) to not run.
I don't know what will happen. I am sure Ol' one-foot will run. He'll get the sympathy/kennedy adoration vote on top of the union vote. Unless the state legislature takes a 180 there really is nothing to stop the march of local state socialism in CT.
It is a Walker, David Walker, former U.S. CompTroller. I was back in CT this past weekend and got to see his pre-announcement on Wfsb TV. He is the real deal and CT's only hope...
Dyslexic to match his thinking.
Shoulda esad a long time ago.
Because he’s dead meat.
Even with the state legislature the ‘pubbies here are dyed in the wool RINOS, anyway. So it will be the sameolde, sameolde BS...
It’s pretty bad, when you leave your family, friends and roots for greener pastures.
