Budget crisis follows Malloy into Clinton campaign event [View all]

Source: CT Mirror

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was reminded Thursday there is no escaping the budget crisis, not even at a presidential campaign event: A Sandy Hook mother gently called him out in front of Hillary Clinton and the national press for cuts he is making to mental health and social services.

Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose 6-year-old daughter, Ana Grace, was among the 20 children killed at the school in Newtown, was on a stage with Clinton in the North End of Hartford when she addressed Malloy, a Clinton supporter sitting at the front of the audience.

“I’m concerned about our mental health programs and the devastating cuts that are happening right now as we speak,” said Marquez-Greene, one of five panelists at a Clinton campaign event on gun violence in a crowded YMCA gymnasium.

The audience of several hundred applauded.

How awkward for her. Yowsa.

They are non-profit, they were locally started in Connecticut, they talk about policy, news, and such to their readers, and they have been in business for many years.
