DAN MALLOY RESPONDS TO NED LAMONT'S ATTACK
The following is a statement from Dan Malloy, the Democratic Party's endorsed candidate for Governor:
"My record on jobs and economic development is crystal clear: during my time as Mayor, Stamford added nearly 5,000 new jobs. That's an indisputable fact. Actually, that number is probably conservative. RBS, UBS, Purdue Pharma, Bank of Ireland, Jeffries, Thomson Reuters, Fuji, NBC, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Carol Lee, Aon Insurance, Greenwich Associates, Lloyds of London, NBC, Rockefeller & Co., Unilever, Columbus Circle Investors, Burlington Coat Factory, Modells, Hampton Inn, Rochdale Securities, Gartner Group - all of these companies, and others, brought new jobs to Stamford. As a result, small businesses across the city flourished from this increase in people working in Stamford.
"So why is Ned Lamont attacking my record on jobs? Because he doesn't want to talk about his own. In his time as CEO Ned laid off most of his workforce, while paying himself hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those are the facts. We'd have more facts if Ned would release his business and personal tax returns for the last 10 years. I'm happy to do the same. For a guy who claims to have 'hired hundreds of people' I would think he would want to release these records.
"My life and record are open books. Ned's should be too."
Dan Malloy, the Democratic Party's endorsed candidate for Governor, also stated:
"We've answered the question. Our ad stays up because my record is clear: under my leadership Stamford added nearly 5,000 new jobs. In fact, the number is probably higher than that. For a more balanced view of my record than the article the Lamont campaign is pointing to, look at the following:

"The questions still outstanding for Ned are as follows: Will you release your personal and business tax returns for each of the last 10 years? Will you tell the people of Connecticut exactly how many jobs you created, and when? Will you tell them how many people you laid off, and how much you paid yourself in the process?"
