DeStefano on the Issues
 |
Mayor DeStefano is greeted by a well-wisher at the Columbus Day Parade. |
John DeStefano understands that it's time for policy-makers here in Connecticut to put the public interest ahead of private interests: to create and retain jobs, to improve education, to fight traffic congestion and to expand access to affordable, high-quality health care.
That's why as a candidate for governor, DeStefano is committed to a detailed public policy discussion — rather than just campaign platitudes.
Read more about John DeStefano's plans to tackle and solve Connecticut's problems — just as he did as mayor of New Haven — on the issues that face our state in 2006.
