Vacancy expected at Republican National Committee
on Monday, August 28, 2006
From the Hartford Courant
President Bush reached into Greenwich for a fifth time during his presidency for a diplomatic appointment yesterday, nominating investment banker Charles Glazer as ambassador to El Salvador.
This will create a vacancy for the Connecticut GOP.
Currently there are two announced candidates:
One is both a lobbyist as well as a current member of GOP state central,
the other is
Republican State Representative John Frey
Many members and other Republicans I've spoken to have expressed concern over the appearance of elevating a lobbyist to such a position.
What do you think?

Primary Results
on Wednesday, August 9, 2006
The GOP "won" both statewide Democratic primaries, in fact it's rumored that we're sending Jodi on a much overdue vacation. She'll return in time to vote in November.
We recommend that voters with any questions take a tour of New Haven anytime of the day or night. (Beruit might well be a safer place so be sure to lock your doors.)
My candidate got clobbered however so it's doubtful that we'll be showing any gains in the Hispanic minority area this cycle.
We spent the evening in a Cuban restaurant on Frankin Ave in Hartford where there were also a large number of Democratic CT state employees. They clearly adored Miriam but assured me that my party would reject her because she was Spanish and that rejection was, they explained exactly why they were Democrats.
Unfortunately it looks like they were right.
MacLean, Scott GOP 1,988 63.21
Masullo, Miriam GOP 1,157 36.79
Interestingly, our biggest loss was in Bristol where if you recall 2 decades or so ago there was a fairly substantial KKK movement.
I'm embarassed for my party and to the disloyalty we showed last night to it's Abolishionist founders.

Governor Rell, In Ceremony, Signs Brownfields Bill
In a ceremony in Waterbury today, Governor M. Jodi Rell signed a bill establishing an office to help towns identify, clean up, and redevelop brownfield sites. A brownfield is an economically underutilized parcel of land that sits unused due to complications with contamination, blight, or other environmental issues.
The law establishes a “one-stop shop,” for property owners and potential property owners to facilitate compliance with state and federal clean up requirements and qualification for state funds. It sets up an office within the Department of Economic and Community Development called the Office of Brownfield Remediation and Development, and creates a task force to develop long-term solutions for cleaning up and redeveloping brownfields. The task force must report its findings and recommendations to the Environment and Commerce committees by January 1.
“I know how important brownfield redevelopment is to this city and its future,” Governor Rell said during the ceremony at the Virjune Manufacturing brownfield site on Chapel Street in Waterbury. “There are hundreds of brownfield sites in Waterbury, and they present a critical barrier to business growth in the city. There is a lack of space available for business expansion.
“We have brownfields all over our state. It is important for future generations that we redevelop brownfields instead of developing pristine open space and farmland.
“Fear of environmental liabilities has deterred investors from buying and remediating available land. This new law addresses that fear.”
The law provides various regulatory and financial incentives for parties that clean up and protects these parties from liability if they acquire a contaminated site from a town or its development agency. It also sets conditions under which the owners of existing manufacturing facilities qualify for clean up dollars.
“This law gives us another tool to promote brownfield cleanup activities and removes barriers that stand in the way of redevelopment,” Governor Rell said. “This progress is just the beginning: We will continue to do all we can to streamline the clean up process. Cities like Bridgeport and Waterbury have made their voices heard.”
