Connecticut government is much maligned. Rightly so, for the most part, but the General Assembly and Government got their shit together this fiscal year and the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury ferry is running full time. The other night when Dario and I rode it, we even saw Sen. Len Suzio (R) and it's not even his district!
