Misquoted

For the record, the Courant's Rinker Buck misquoted CTLCV Executive Director in his Thursday and Friday print and online stories about DEP Commissioner Gina McCarthy going to Washington.

The FBI did interview Brown about McCarthy, but Buck misquoted Brown in reporting her as saying "McCarthy is being considered for a big role in the EPA involving global warming," Brown said, "but I don't know the title."

While that may be a logical assumption, we wish to clarify that we do not know the role, the agency, the title, or the scope of work that McCarthy is being considered for.

A McCarthy move to DC would be terrific for the country, but not so terrific for Connecticut. McCarthy's successor would have mighty big shoes to fill. (Figuratively speaking.)
