Don't listen to the critics; Connecticut is moving forward

I spoke about the work we've done to partner with Connecticut small businesses. Will every single one of those investments pay off? Of course not. And if one fails, the critics would say that's reason enough to stop investing in small businesses altogether. We should not listen. Connecticut is moving forward.

And now, during this session, those critics will say that for one reason or another that we can't increase the minimum wage, that we can't expand access to early childhood education, that we can't find ways to make college more affordable. I say they're wrong. Connecticut must move forward, because the people of our state have sacrificed, & now they deserve to share in our emerging recovery
