Let’s see, tax cuts. That would be a stimulation package for the small guy who is not too big to fail. Never happen.
Here’s hoping everyone here at CTLP has a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
By His Excellency WILBUR L. CROSS, Governor:
a Proclamation
Time out of mind at this turn of the seasons when the hardy oak leaves rustle in the wind and the frost gives a tang to the air and the dusk falls early and the friendly evenings lengthen under the heel of Orion, it has seemed good to our people to join together in praising the Creator and Preserver, who has brought us by a way that we did not know to the end of another year. In observance of this custom, I appoint Thursday, the twenty-sixth of November, as a day of
Public Thanksgiving
for the blessings that have been our common lot and have placed our beloved State with the favored regions of earth — for all the creature comforts: the yield of the soil that has fed us and the richer yield from labor of every kind that has sustained our lives — and for all those things, as dear as breath to the body, that quicken man’s faith in his manhood, that nourish and strengthen his spirit to do the great work still before him: for the brotherly word and act; for honor held above price; for steadfast courage and zeal in the long, long search after truth; for liberty and for justice freely granted by each to his fellow and so as freely enjoyed; and for the crowning glory and mercy of peace upon our land; — that we may humbly take heart of these blessings as we gather once again with solemn and festive rites to keep our Harvest Home.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this twelfth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty six and of the independence of the United State the one hundred and sixty-first.
Wilbur L. Cross
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy the football, the parades, and the food. Give a special thanks to all of the men and women deployed to foreign lands in service to their and our country.
Everyone have a safe holiday….
I did see Foley’s speech and find his speaking style less then palatible.He clearly needs work with a speaking and elocution coach.Having said that, his business acumen will in fact be attractive to connecticut voters at a time like this and I think it will put him light years in front of Federle or anyone else. On my side of the aisle, the advance of Republican Foley will have a reaction I think, of advancing anyone of the Democratic candidates who has had successful executive and/or business experience,meaning that Malloy and/or Lamont would be helped the most with the rise of Foley.
