Jim Amann is mad. Hopping mad. 'How the hell do these Republicans keep doing this to me? A few weeks ago I was the Speaker-everybody's favorite guy. Today, I'm the a$$hole jacking gas prices on Connecticut residents! How did it come to this? What the hell do I pay my gigantic staff for?'
All valid questions, Jim. So what recourse does a Speaker have when backed into a corner than to threaten to hold up valuable legislation, bonding, etc. just to ensure that the people of CT pay that extra $0.25 on every gallon of gas this summer.
I really can't sum this up better than the media already has today, so please check out the links below.
