From Dan Malloy:
GOVERNOR-ELECT MALLOY ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF TRANSITION WEBSITE
www.transition.ct.gov provides CT residents a way to communicate with incoming administration
HARTFORD, CT) – Governor-Elect Dan Malloy today announced the launch of a website, designed to let Connecticut residents get information about and communicate with his transition team prior to taking office on January 5, 2011. The website, www.transition.ct.gov includes a web form for suggestions or ideas for Governor-Elect Malloy, Lieutenant Governor-Elect Wyman and their team. People who wish to apply to work in the administration can email their resume and cover letter to transition.team@ct.gov. Press releases and other news items can also be found on the website.
“During my campaign I often talked about transparency and staying in touch with the people of Connecticut to make sure they knew what I was doing on their behalf,” said Governor-Elect Malloy. “This website is a good step in that direction. News items and other information of broad interest to the Connecticut public will be posted on the website, and residents will be able to sign up to receive announcements in their inboxes. I encourage those people who have suggestions or ideas for my administration to share them with us through our web form. In addition, I’ve told my transition team that we’re looking for the best and the brightest for every position we fill within state government. People who would like to join our efforts can send their resume and cover letter to us for consideration. In the coming weeks and months, we’ll launch additional ways for the people of Connecticut to stay in touch with me and get answers to their questions, and I look forward to being an active and accessible Governor.”
Transition.ct.gov is a State of Connecticut site, and was created to help ensure a smooth transition between administrations and as a way for residents to get information about the transition process.
*** Great idea, let’s hope it works for a better “Back to Basics” CT! *** Time will tell ***
This website should have a countdown meter on it. App. 20 minutes into the Governor’s ball Jan. 5th, a guided missile toward Calimari’s and the Annex.

Interesting article in business section of today’s Post regarding Small Business Saturday. Where were they in spreading the news?
Hey “UP”
Timpanelli only makes $2000.00 a week for his job, give the little guy a break, give him a raise he might then work for his dinner with Mario.
Gossip of The Rialto!
This no Barney Google operation.

OK I just read the CT Post story on their recount. It seems the city election workers lost 1,000 ballots between their names being checked off and the ballot being cast.
Am I crazy or does that seem simply way too high?
If this is the way it is all around the state then there is something wrong with the process.
Otherwise; Surprise, It’s Bridgeport!!!
Denise Merrill should examine the result of this recount and then perform an operational audit of the B-port registrar’s office
Bob–They have not yet looked at the ballots, so they don’t know how many there are. 1000 fewer people voted for Governor than the Post says were checked as having voted; that’s a 4% undervote, which wouldn’t be particularly unusual. Especially in a race where both candidates are so unappealing.
Mr. Walsh–I just read the article and thought the same thing. Under state statute don’t the books have to balance unless they are cooked?
Makes one wonder if this is typical of the Registrar’s Office. 1,000 ballots would decide a mayoral primary. Maybe Chris Caruso did win in 2007. Just imagine how different things would be if we had Mayor Caruso instead of Mayor Birdbrain and his gang of Testacrats?
Bob:
Given what was reported about the count and recount, I don’t think anyone should be really surprised at the difference in voters checked and votes counted. I shouldn’t be surprised if they find a bag of–say–500 ballots that weren’t counted at all. I’m not being a smartass and I’m not saying anything was rigged.
The system for running the election collapsed.
The only way to fix it is to examine the process and determine where it failed. No “theories.” That requires a thorough audit.
It is already an Only in Bridgeport moment.
Now I WILL be a smartass. Walsh, you SOB, you knew this was an OIB moment. You were quite charming in a Gaelic-Go-Mad moment at Central on Election Night over the ballots.
After the re-recount, I think some thoughts from you are in order. You’ve been around long enough working in the political process.
