Nonsense
From Governor Rell:
“Help me as I lead Connecticut to a smaller, more affordable, more responsive government.”
“We must not forsake this opportunity. We must do what every family across our state has been doing – cutting back and doing more with less – and less.”
A smaller government is, by definition, less responsive. If I have a problem, and the department that would have dealt with it is shuttered, the only “response” I’ll get when I call is a not-in-service message.
In the same vein, you can’t do more with less. Less is called less for a reason. In fourteen years as Lt. Governor or Governor, neither Rell nor anyone around her has even figured out how to do the same amount of work for less.
Though in fairness, maybe our Governor is referring to the increased quantity of daytime television our former civil servants will be viewing. More unemployment checks. More people in line at the DMV. That kind of thing.
