Nancy Burton for State Representative
District 135 (Easton - Weston - part of Redding)
"The consequences of flying a plane into Millstone are
potentially far, far more catastrophic than Chernobyl. It would probably devastate the state of
Connecticut times five" -- Nancy Burton, an attorney representing the
Connecticut Coalition Against Millstone (Connecticut
Post, November 18, 2001)
Why I’m Running to Represent You
in the
Connecticut State House of Representatives
Connecticut, the
Constitution State, once the respected land of steady habits, has fallen into a
steady decline.
Earlier this year,
the Governor was run out of office after 9½ years of abuse of the public trust.
By then, state government had declined so severely that financial contributors
to the former Governor found that with a telephone call to the right political
operative, an innocent person could be arrested. (Hartford
Courant,
April 30, 2004)
During the
ex-Governor’s term, big energy companies bullied towns in our state into
accepting unneeded, unsafe and aesthetically scarring high transmission lines
through our residential neighborhoods.
During the former
Governor’s term, we lost thousands of acres of farmland and many of our dairy
farms. Suburban sprawl took off on a gallop to blight many of our most scenic
landscapes.
During the former
Governor’s term, your tax money promoted tourism
at the dirty and unsafe Millstone Nuclear Power Station while urban schools
were deprived of the means to provide quality education.
During the former
Governor’s term, it took years for citizen activists to overcome his political
power and commitment to keep obsolete power plants belching soot, mercury,
sulfur dioxide and greenhouse gases into our air.
During the former
Governor’s term, our capital city of Hartford remained among the worst cities
in America in terms of urban poverty and hardship, ranking just behind Detroit,
Michigan and Newark, New Jersey.
So many shenanigans
have lately come to light that The New York Times has taken to calling our
state “Corrupticut.”
Was the former
Governor so clever that he was able to accomplish so much mischief over so many
years alone? Of course not! He had
many helpers. Together, they disregarded the checks and balances which the
framers of the Constitution knew were necessary to restrain the natural
inclination of the powerful to lose perspective of the fact that they are
elected to serve the people.
Elect Nancy Burton! She is dedicated to serving You the
People.
CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER, CLEAN GOVERNMENT!
