    6. Chris Dodd did not Sponsor or Champion any Good Legislation in 30 Years!
    other than the Family & medical leave Act!
    He represented the insurance company monopoly so they could extract excessive premiums like another tax from us.
    Dodd Represented the Pharma compaines so they could charge us triple the cost, locking out Canadian & European suppliers. (The textile industry & Auto industry wish they could get such a protectionist deal!)
    He prevented innovations in Energy from coming to market for 30 years, keeping us addicted to foreign oil. Then he help sink us into the Wars in the mid-east, that we will pay for for 75 years.

    Dodd was a Bushicrat

    Good Riddance!

    I wish my fellow CT voters would critique the WORK/Legialation of our Representatives instead of marvel at them like celebrities

    I hope our next CT Senator will undo some of the backward policy’s of the past.

    7. I totally agree David P., Dodd like the rest of them serves for themselves, their friends and families. After he has ’stolen’ enough money ( special mortgage interest rate etc) he is stepping down to keep a low profile> I am sure if we were to dig deeper we would open a ‘can of worms’. Yeah and I am sick of people ‘idolizing’ these thieving politicians!
