I remember back in the 1970s when CT was having "fiscal" problems. The woman governor, maybe one of two nationwide, wanted to sell off the state silverware, made by Paul Revere, for an estimated $50K.
That was back when news was real news, such that it may be, and reported as such.
Then e governor talked to Hillary who told her, “don’t sell the silverware, take it with you when you leave.”
