@CTIronman I genuinely don’t know what this group or the mayors/fs group I put together last year will come up with
And I can’t speak to what happened when I was 4
What I can tell you is that my goal is to try to find consensus on how to finance muni govt more sustainably than we do today

When @SeanScanlonCT explains first why the Weicker/CTDem agenda proved to be an utter disaster in preventing property tax hikes then maybe he’d have a veneer of credibility in proposing a new fix
(He won’t because he needs the CEA endorsement)

@jmart Just putting this out there: I'm not tanned, but I'm rested and ready for the New Haven pizza tour episode.

FOLKS…
The texts, emails and calls come regularly. At least once a week. Sometimes more.
“Jmart, I’m going to [fill-in-the-blank city], where should I eat?” friends, colleagues and sometimes folks I barely know at all will ask. Often, the question in reference is about New Orleans, America’s greatest city and the town my wife, Betsy, and I call home.
But just as frequently, it’s about somewhere else, where there’s a conference or wedding or news event. I’ve yet to meet the person who doesn’t want to find a good meal on the road.
Which is why this week I’m starting “On the Road with Jonathan Martin.”
After over 20 years of covering politics and visiting all 50 states along the way, I’ve eaten a lot of meals with politicians and those around them. Now I want to take you with me, have you watch and listen as I sit down and (quite literally) break bread at local joints with Democrats and Republicans alike.
My vision: Anthony Bourdain meets “Lunch with the FT” meets the Almanac of American Politics.
We’ll talk food, politics and place, delving into yesterday and tomorrow. It’s the great question at the heart of every political story, and it couldn’t be more relevant in America’s 250th year: How did we get here, and where are we going?
We begin at Wright’s BBQ in Little Rock, Arkansas, where I had the ribs (great rub), brisket and mac and cheese last week with Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. More on that below. I’m headed to California next, where I’ll dip into some Dungeness crab with California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

You can't say you care about affordability and then let the health care premiums of millions of working class Americans double.
But yeah, that's what happened today.

Someone just texted me "the Meadows is back."
But honestly, if you're from CT and of a certain age, the Meadows never left.
Love the official throwback, though.

Not surprising when:
1. Health care is too expensive
2. People can’t find or get into primary care doctors easily because of the shortage
3. Mental health is still very stigmatized and there aren’t enough clinicians even if it wasn’t
DC won’t fix. CT can and must.
