Fair enough. So there's John Rowland, who calls himself a Republican, embracing the liberal tactic of giving in to labor unions.
I don't expect Malloy to break contracts, either. But when you lead a state that's bankrupt, and you conclude it's sound economic policy to spend $550 milion to pave 9 miles of road and buy a few buses, then you are an idiot. I just can't see any other possibility.
