Editor,

As a Stamford employee I think the taxpayers of Connecticut should br made aware of who the real Dan Malloy is and what he stood for.

When Malloy was the mayor of Stamford there was a corrosive and cancerous pay-to-play system that steered political donors to no bid city contracts.

This pay-to-play system was one that Malloy willingly exploited then and is has exploited in his bid for the Democratic nomination for Governor.

If Dan Malloy is sent to Hartford he will further bring down the a state that is on life support.

Name Withheld By Request

COMMENT:

Many Connecticut voters have forgotten about the state's attorney's probe of Malloy's home improvements, and whether he had done anything to benefit the contractors who were working on his house, including steer them city business.

Over and over similar schemes helped undo the careers of Gov. John G. Rowland, and much more recently, Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez, who appears to be headed to prison on a bribery conviction.

07/07/10 Gubernatorial Candidate Dan Malloy Slams Greenwich Resident Ned Lamont For Skipping New London Debate

The Chicken Man Is Afraid Of Getting Plucked:

Greenwich Millionaire Ned Lamont Is Running Scared

Dan Malloy, the endorsed Democratic candidate for Connecticut governor, is criticizing his primary opponent Ned Lamont for skipping a planned televised debate inNew London later this month.

The Day of New London, which traditionally co-sponsors the debate with WTNH-TV, announced Tuesday that Lamont is refusing to participate, forcing them to cancel the live event. The Republican candidates for governor will still face off on July 28.

Malloy and Lamont appeared together last month in their first TV debate. Malloy says he thinks Lamont won't participate in a second debate because a campaign focus group showed he did not perform well.

A spokeswoman confirmed Lamont is not participating, saying that he wants to talk directly to voters between now and the Aug. 10 primary. She says there was no focus group.
