Gov. Ned Lamont”™s second inaugural ball earlier this month vacuumed up $515,000 in sponsorships from state-based companies and from national corporations doing business in Connecticut.
CTNewsJunkie.com reported that sponsorships for the event on Jan. 4 was capped at $25,000. Among the entities who contributed the maximum amounts were health care companies including Cigna (NYSE:CI), CVS/Aetna (NYSE:CVS) and UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH), along with the state”™s utilities Eversource (NYSE:ES) and United Illuminating”™s parent company Avangrid (NYSE:AGR). Perhaps not surprisingly, none of these companies were specifically identified by Lamont in his inaugural speech when he gently chided unnamed insurance companies and utilities for passing along higher costs to consumers.
Also providing the $25,000 maximum in sponsorships were Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), the parent company of Stratford-based Sikorsky Aircraft, Webster Bank (NYSE:WBS), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), LAS Parking and Deloitte. The state”™s Native American tribes that operate casinos, the Mohegan Tribal Nation and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, donated $15,000 and $10,000.
And we wonder where all of CT’s money is going!!!
Where else are they unnessarily spending “OUR” money???
They think we are just numbers in the census. They have NO regard to our needs to survive before their immediate thought to keep robbing us.
HEY GOVERNMENT!!!
CT’s people are leaving. They are going places that offer much more and able to live more comfortably. You’re stolen resources will soon be dried up.
