Another tweet from a newly elected Congresswoman:

[George II]

Thanking our newly elected Lieutenant Governor, Susan Bysiewicz, for helping Federal workers.

Now SHE is a breath of fresh air!!

1. oh thank you lord

I was bracing myself for nausea when I saw "tweet" and "newly elected congresswoman" in the same sentence.

It was a relief to see a normal, non-confrontational and not "look at me, I'm a celebrity" tweet from Jahana Hayes and not the alternative.

2. Susan B. has been around for decades & is awesome.

I remember her getting elected to the state leg when I was still in high school, well over 20 years ago.

4. When I first moved to Connecticut in 1988 she was our State Representative....

....the first time I noticed her was about five years later when I was unemployed and was working on a complaint with the CHRO. Back then the Legislature was trying to disband it, but she was a big advocate for the Commission, the first of it's kind in the US. It was salvaged (and is still in "business" ), and I've appreciated her ever since. Coincidentally she lived right near my first Connecticut home.

I've met her dozens of times over the years in working with our local and state Democratic Parties. A very nice woman.

Sorry!

[George II]

5. That means that for some reason she deleted the tweet. I checked her twitter feed...

...and it's gone. I wonder why?

[George II]

6. She just tweeted the same thing again, I updated my OP. Maybe there was a typo or something?

been a typo.
