The Man Who Would Be King

Speaker of the House Jim Amann is retiring to pursue the Governorship. Normally I welcome liberals tilting at windmills but this time less so. His most likely replacement Rep. Chris Donovan of Meriden has a resume that strikes fear in to the hearts of taxpayers through out the land.

From myleftwingnut.com

Trained as a social worker, he has worked for the CT Citizen Action Group and the Service Employees International Union. He is now a labor organizer at the Congress of Connecticut Community Colleges.

The CBIA gives him a rating of 22% out of 100% and the AFL-CIO gives him a 90% out of 100%.

Sounds like a plan to me!

Trained as a social worker and works as a Labor Organizer. I took some heat a few months ago making the pitch for a living wage for Legislators, this guy is the poster boy of why we need professionals running the state not just hobbyists.

It is in every non-profits best interest to allow their employees to run for public office. Non-profits funds come from government and when your guys are on the inside, life can be good.

I’d say the Congress of CT Community Colleges hit a home run.

It is not as much in the best interests of businesses to allow their income generating employees to run for office. But maybe this needs to change. Maybe CT businesses and businesses throughout the USA need to run candidates for public office, they can run on a pro-business platform. Would they not be under just a little pressure to their employers for special favors?

Of course not. Who would suggest such a thing?
