One State Senator was double billing his campaign for reimbursements.
Two Senators want to legalize marijuana to help the economy. No, I can't figure it out either. Maybe if I were smoking some, I could explain.
The mayor of Hartford got arrested.
The new speaker hired the old speaker for $120,000 a year because the old speaker didn't have a job and was running for governor.
Now we have to add a dead body to the mix. And it's not even a month into the new year yet.
The only way I can lose this election is if Im caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.

This is the railroad track version of Ted Kennedy. There’s enough stink in this to make you go hmmmmmmm.... Just saying.
Did he lose?
A lot has changed in 26 years.
Today only one of those two would impact a candidate.
Especially in Portland.
What's the problem?
This is just a hiccup.
The point of this proposal is to save money on the pointless law enforcement and imprisonment costs associated with marijuana prosecution. And to help you further, no they don't want to legalize marijuana, they want to make it an offense similar to speeding, an offender would get a $100 ticket.
It's easy to understand once you actually read the facts behind the proposal.
Unless you're smoking something
Connecticut is kinda a small state. Is this a crime wave or just the general state of affairs? For a while, I thought this was a Kennedy story.
Akin to “Dying in the Saddle,” but having the saddle die first is a bit unusual.
I'm sorry but I just bursted out laughing at "is this a crime wave".
These "political elite" think they are so untouchable. I hope this woman, whoever and whatever she was, gets justice. This guy is obviously scum of the Kennedy kind. Nobody's mentioned if he was married. That would explain the bizzare story he told.
The scarey part? There was actually a majority that voted this bass turd into office.
I thought this was gonna be some lurid story about lesbians (the lawmaker died?).

Married, 3 kids.
Don’t see any problem here. Every passenger jumps out of a car barefooted in single digit temperatures when they get close to home. Happens all the time, usually just before thanking the driver.
I dunno... After reading the story I think the guy might possibly be on the level. Sounds like the woman was a little outta control.
I never got that feeling. See post 14.

I sympathize with the horny male bar patron in the late evening, having been in that position. And some of the choices available are only borderline attractive. And how in hell can you be responsible for their actions? We are not talking Gary Condit here. Of course my experience was as a single person, not married with children.
Yes, her recent problem drinking indicates she may have been emotionally disturbed, perhaps in the way some get when an affair is called off, or one realizes he isn't going to leave his wife:
A patrol officer recognized a picture of the body as that of a woman he arrested on Dec. 22 for driving while intoxicated.
