• Oh oh! It seems like Danbury's Mayor Boughton will have to take the stand and testify on what he knew regarding the ICE raid, in which it is allege that the city of Danbury was discriminatory in helping federal agents arrest day laborers. Since Boughton repeatedly stated to the press that the city of Danbury played no part in the raid, I will be VERY interesting to witness how he changes his tune once under oath...


• Ken Krayeske give his take on Gov "MIA" Rell's appearance on WNPR's Where We Live.


• Things become a bit tense between lawmakers and the Department of Correction.


• Last day to sign the petition...


• Speaking of the petition, CTBlue has this to say about State Central's "sudden" desire to go soft on Joe (suprise, suprise).
  

  I am willing to bet, provided the stakes are low enough, that Joe will be welcomed back, albeit grudgingly, to the Jefferson-Jackson-Bailey dinner next year. Will it be like old times? No. But will the usual suspects gather around him, and glad hand him as if nothing has happened? To that I venture a qualified yes. Nobody suffers from battered wife syndrome as much as Democrats, and the higher placed they are, the more susceptible to the disease.

  
  Two words: sucker's bet.


• Congressman-Elect Jim Himes wants to hear from you!
