Mayor DeStefano is the first (and apparently only!) Connecticut official to offer aid and succor to the victims of Katrina.
The New Haven Independent takes a swipe at Governor Rowland-Rell over her Bush-like inaction in the face of the humanitarian disaster in New Orleans while DeStefano swings into action.
The reporter noted that no other Connecticut city so far has invited in Gulf Coast families. The reporter noted further that Massachusetts’ governor has announced a goal of bringing in 2,500 families. Wouldn’t it help, the reporter asked, if Gov. Rell made a similar move?
In other words, wouldn’t it help if Rell—the popular Republican governor whom DeStefano wants to unseat in the 2006 election--took the initiative to organize government to help people the way John DeStefano is doing?
