Why would it be true that "it's the job of the media to investigate"? What gives them that authority to be the final authority?
If there are enough citizens, particularly CT residents, and especially local residents who do not believe what they are hearing, then why do they not form a citizens enquiry, even a citizens grand jury ?
A citizen-initiated grand jury is an enormously difficult process because the local authorities will bring everything to keep it from happening...can’t have the proles exposing the malfeasance, bad for business.
