Only Jodi Rell, rumored to be the most popular governor in the nation, could get away with criticizing herself. Two days ago, the Democrats complained that they’d been kept in the dark about the rising cost of a railroad maintenance facility in New Haven. This seems fair on their part. It was, after all, officials in Rell’s administration that hid the rising costs from the legislators.
Never to be outdone, or on the wrong side of an issue, the governor now claims that she too is outraged by the actions of her own administration. Apparently, no one in her administration bothered to tell her about the $250 million in extra costs. More than likely they figured there was no need to go any higher than Lisa Moody. What a luxury for Rell, she even gets to attack her own administration as if she’s a passive bystander to events.
Did I say “as if”? That’s unfair to Jodi. She in fact is a passive bystander so she has a perfect right to act the part.
