This exchange happened yesterday at the State Senate debate in Fairfield hosted by the Rotary Club of Fairfield. It was cringe worthy. Ms. Laroche is clearly just not ready for prime time. It was akin to choosing to board a flight where in one airplane there is a confident, pilot working on a very familiar instrument panel and getting ready for take off. While in the other plane, a pilot reading the manual and trying to figure out the dials. Which flight are YOU getting on? Seriously – there is too much at stake- we need knowledgeable legislators who understand or at the very least are somewhat familiar with the issues that affect their constituents and hit the ground running once elected. Vote early or on November 3 – VOTE Rob Blanchard for State Senate.
