A few months ago, on Friday, May 13th, a sunny spring morning, we gathered for a press conference at the Radisson Hotel, New London, anxiously awaiting word of the future of our beloved Sub base. Politicians with sadden faces gave themselves away upon entry before taking their positions at the podium.
Governor M. Jodi Rell announced, “This is not the news we hoped for and worked so hard to avoid. But it is one battle in a far longer campaign, and we are a long, long way from being defeated. We have 31,500 reasons to keep fighting and fight we will.”
Senator Joe Lieberman followed, “It insults our history, and endangers our future.”
Congressman Rob Simmons added, “We are together. We are strong. We are ready to fight!” ….” We’re at step 4 of a 10-step process. It’s not over ‘til it’s over and it’s not over yet!”
John Markowitz, hats off to you for your brilliance and outstanding leadership! On behalf of the residents of southeastern Connecticut and Southern Rhode Island, thank you for your beautiful teamwork! Click here.
Today, we have another challenge ahead and residents are already orchestrating efforts to assist the victims of the devastating Katrina. Governor Rell conveys her deep gratitude to CT residents and businesses for the initial outpouring of bottled water and supplies to aid the victims. 100 members of the CT National Guard are being activated to provide assistance in the stricken Gulf States. Get involved – click here.
