  1. Rest in peace Jack Hennessy, thank you for your service for this country and state.
    The gerrymandering candidate has done nothing for your district sad to say!
    My prayers go out to you and your family.

  3. My sincerest condolences to Jack’s family. Of the many accomplishments of Jack while he was serving in the state house was the passage of the legislation that helped close illegal massage parlors. The “ smut busters” gathered the support of legislators and citizens to testify in favor of regulating massage parlors to enable communities to close the “happy ending” massage parlors. Representative Hennessy was a licensed massage therapist and testified with a large group of other licensed massage therapist emphasizing how the illegal massage parlors harmed their business. I truly believe without his testimony, the legislation would not have passed. I had the honor of working with and for him on a few issues and found him to be absolutely a man of the people.

      1. Over coffee at Harborview Market, Realtor Stephanie Barns and I were discussing how the massage parlors were a detriment to the image and growth of Bridgeport. Stephanie proposed we put our Rolodex and heads together and see how we could legally close the business once and for all. It took a year and a half, well worth the wait. I think you were the one who called us the smut busters first. I wear that badge proudly.
