"To talk about jobs is not enough, we need someone who has a plan to restore jobs, promote policies to make Connecticut a place to do business, and reinvigorate our economy, which is being dragged down by a bloated bureaucracy. We need a true leader, someone who will adhere to the constitutional spending cap and make the tough decisions needed to do that. Tom is the candidate that will lead Connecticut out of this recession and get our state working again."

His plan will help to alleviate some of the tax burdens presently being experienced by the citizens of our state," said Mayor Jim Streeter of Groton. "Tom not only has the knowledge and background to turn our state's economy around, but more importantly, he has the will and desire to do so."
