Heard on OTR.org:

"The nuclear industry is pushing  a renaissance - some would say "relapse" - by arguing that nuclear power is economically attractive.

Question: Isn't it true that the nuclear industry enjoys whopping government subsidies through such measures as the Price Anderson Act (which relieves the industry of having to insure against the full costs of a nuclear accident) and the Department of Energy's obligation to find and pay for a permanent home for radioactuve waste which will remain deadly for thousands of years? Are these hidden costs accounted for in the industry's promotion of nuclear energy?"

For 6/8/2007

Christopher G. Donovan

Lawrence Cafero



Heard at the Capitol :
Revealing for the first time her experience as a rape victim. Heinrich backs a bill requiring all Connecticut hospitals to offer emergency contraception to rape victims admitted to their facilities.

"My body and soul were broken. Numbness prevented me from crying. Then slowly the most horrifying thought pressed through the fog. My God, what if I'm pregnant?"


- State Rep.
Deborah Heinrich
(D-Madison)
 

Criticizing House Speaker James Amann for soliciting charitable contributions from lobbyists, a practice Healy characterized as influence peddling by the powerful legislative leader.

"Jim Amann is ethically challenged and his 106 House Democratic colleagues should be embarassed. As Michael Dukakis said, 'the fish rots from the head'."
- State Republican Chairman Chris Healy

 

"Nobody acts on their own in this (Rell) administration or as a GOP chairman. You don't think the governor's office has control over the chairman of the party? This was purely political."

- Amann's response to Healy's claims.


 

Opposing a bill to allow legislative leaders to place projects for approval on the State Bond Commission agenda, a power now granted exclusively to the governor.

"If adopted, this bill would lead to more and more bonding, just as if you suddenly decided to give several members of your family new, no-limit credit cards."

- Gov. Jodi Rell
