I got a prompt but non-committal letter from Gov. Rell's office. I was reminded that the state provides 60K per year to the house. I don't want to seem picky, but that would just about pay for one mid-level employee. Given the number of millionaires that live in this state, it seems plausible to me that we could do a bit better on this issue. Terry Ballard Quinnipiac University Hamden, CT
