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.)

Greetings

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am the intern for the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters for the 2009 legislative session. I am a junior at Trinity College studying Environmental Science and Community Action. Currently with the League, I am working on bill tracking for our Environmental Scorecard. At Trinity, I am the chair of Green Campus. This is a student group that is active in environment and sustainability issues on campus. We are currently assembling a social space at 125 Allen Place in which the Trinity and Hartford communities will showcase and discover what it means to live sustainably. I look forward to sharing my experiences with the League and at Trinity with all our readers.
