Ok, somebody check on @DanHaarColumns as he has been making too much sense lately.

@EshaAA33 This picture is ‘73 to ‘75. Not before or after that range.

@MattOBrienCT @Betsy_McCaughey @JoeVisconti @CTGOP @MartyHeiser3 Not taking sides in this election, I believe what @Betsy_McCaughey is saying is that she needs to qualify for CEP in order to have the money to compete - including obtaining signatures to get on the ballot.

@JohnDiIorio2 It is true that one-party rule in Connecticut brings problems. Unfortunately that’s the way it should remain until CT Republicans openly rebuke the criminal regime headed by @realDonaldTrump. Then we can vote for them again. Good conservatives: Please do your jobs. We need you.

@doctorfrig @espn @PatMcAfeeShow Awesome if you like zero insight from a valid fanboy with nothing to add to a game.

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@CougfanCOM Almost??

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@scott_wheeler12 Good stories all. Just don’t confuse them with the reason electric rates need to go up higher. Also that famous public service charge: it’s not why electric rates are high.

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@scott_wheeler12 @hartfordcourant @CTDems @AGWilliamTong Ed Mahony did a nice job of revealing issues at PURA. None of this is causing the inevitable rise in rates due to pent up storm costs, deferred maintenance and the need for modernization, as I reported 11 months ago. Don’t blame Democrats or PURA. https://t.co/4UALK6Kshv

@jamesnoble57257 @MitchH8329 @amyklobuchar So, you think the inflation thst spiked in March 2021, before Biden signed any of his spending into law, let alone spent any of it, was caused by Biden? Dream on. Biden best back Trumpflation and now Trump is trying to restore it with the on-again, off-again tariff idiocy.

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@scott_wheeler12 @CTDems Sadly you don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about. Not even a vague notion.

@ctrewes @CTGOP @GeorgeColli The lobster claw was created in 2001 to benefit a Republican from New Britain, Nancy Johnson.

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@scott_wheeler12 I’m just saying it works both ways. Some people might leave the city for the nearby environs, like Greenwich. But as everyone said, we’d rather see NYC succeed.

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@scott_wheeler12 Huh? That’s a bonded state expense to shore up CT’s premier sports arena by a state that has seen $12B in surpluses since the pandemic. It’s like a rich family buying a laptop.

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

Today is the 1st of Elul, the month when Jews hear the daily blowing of the Shofar to herald the new year in 30 days. In Connecticut, we have @ShofarShoshanna, chronicler and UConn Huskies fan extraordinaire, with Day One done and more to come!

ShofarShoshanna Daily Blast 1 Elul 5785. Who's on the tarmac today to toss the ball? Paige Bueckers, Gov Lamont, Dan Haar and Dom Amore! Then who's flying the plane? Captain Geno Auriemma of course! Shofarade Blast flavor and sneakers with a Shofar Swoosh? LOOK ALIVE IT'S 5785! @GovNedLamont @DanHaarColumns @AmoreCourant @UConnWBB @insider_ct @hartfordcourant

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@JohnDiIorio2 The lobster claw was tailored for former Rep. Nancy Johnson of New Britain — a Republican. Anyway, criticism of it misses the point. Redistricting is done to adjust to population shifts every 10 years — not mid-decade.

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@scott_wheeler12 No way who loses?

[Dan Haar @DanHaarColumns]

@scott_wheeler12 Maybe you’re right. More concerts, smaller size. Both are well run. The Civic Center is the only arena in the state big enough for premier events and it’s in the cap city.
