Saturday was perhaps not the most groundbreaking news day to announce a major policy goal, but tucked away in a statement about Connecticut landing $145 million in federal funds was this Jodi Rell statement:
“Our commuters need relief,” Rell said in a statement. “And I will not be satisfied until we have created a modern and efficient transportation system in Connecticut that is a model for the nation.”
The small AP item appeared in that Connecticut centric publication, Newsday and also on WTNH. But the rest of the pack, newspapers that is, appeared not to send a reporter over to Rell’s Brookfield home base and ask some follow up questions.
