The campaign of Rob Simmons offers this short item on the latest bad day for Sen. Chris Dodd:

Today, Senator Dodd Sent Out A Press Release Touting The Attendance Of RSL Fiber, Inc. CEO Giovanni Tomasi At His Press Conference In East Hartford. “Today, following a tour of the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, Senator Chris Dodd (D- CT) unveiled his new, comprehensive jobs agenda . . . Joining Dodd [was] Gio Tomasi of RSL Fiber, Inc. RSL is the most recent company to join the CCAT.” (Sen. Chris Dodd, “Dodd Unveils New Jobs Agenda in East Hartford,” Press Release, 12/7/09)
But Tomasi “Won’t Be Voting For [Dodd] In Nov. 2010,” And Supports Rob Simmons, Declaring “No Economy Is Stimulated By Raising Taxes.” “Giovanni Tomasi, who is the CEO of RSL Fiber Systems LLC, just one of the many companies located inside the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology . . . won’t be voting for him in Nov. 2010. Tomasi, who endorsed Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele last week in Cromwell, said he supports former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, one of Dodd’s three Republican challengers. ‘No economy is stimulated by raising taxes,’ Tomasi said. He said he would like to hear more about how the state and federal governments are going to cut taxes, so he can hire more people.” (Christine Stuart, “Dodd Unveils Jobs Agenda,” ctnewsjunkie.com, 12/7/09)
