…reading the CT Mirror’s brand new Political Guide. You don’t have to be a junkie to find some of these bios of legislators and constitutional officers interesting:
There’s the wedding DJ who also picks the number on TV for the Connecticut Lottery, an allergist, limo driver, airport manager, nurses, bunches of lawyers and real-estate brokers, college students and retirees, and owners of a fish market, bar, day care, beach club and bowling alley.
They range in age from 20 to 80. Some have been to war. There’s a police dispatcher and two recently retired cops. At least two are private pilots, including the bowling alley owner. One member grew up in Houston, moved to Paris and wrote a book about opera. Another formed an environmental group with a movie star. They are rich, struggling and in between.
