Malloy? NOT AGAIN, NO MORE, PLEASE....

Here in Connecticut, the State Supreme Court determined that the state DOES HAVE a constitutional obligation to adequately fund Connecticut’s public schools.  The Supreme Court sent the case, called Connecticut Coalition for Justice in Education Funding [CCJEF] v. Rell, back to the trial court for a full hearing on what would an adequate state funding formula would entail.

As Mayor of Stamford, Dan Malloy was one of the original plaintiffs behind this landmark lawsuit, a case that would lead to more state support for public schools and reduced pressure on local property taxpayers to pay those costs.

However, after getting re-elected on a promise to support the case, Governor Dannel Malloy joined Attorney General George Jepsen in trying to have this critical lawsuit dismissed and swept under the rug.

Thankfully the presiding in the case would have none of Malloy’s irresponsible maneuver and ordered that a full trial in the case against the State of Connecticut will begin later this year.
