Former GOP Congressman and University of New Haven president Larry DeNardis has thrown his hat into the crowded Connecticut gubernatorial ring. My good pal Tom Scott, with an oh-so-long and accurate memory of Nutmeg State politics, gives a sharp five-minute take (titled “Utterly Untrustworthy on Taxes”) on the political make-up of this former one-term Gypsy Moth/Lowell Weicker-Mini Me. Winning his House seat in 1980 courtesy of the Gipper’s coattails, Tom charges “Larry DeNardis screwed Ronald Reagan every chance he had” in repayment. Give a listen, even if you only like the sound of meat being minced. By the way, over at the DeNardis for Governor website, he’s running as a tax-cutter (this from the man who, as a state representative in 1971, co-sponsored and voted for the bill to institute the state income tax!).
