After clashing over campaign finance reform, Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Tom Foley are now clashing over job creation.
Some of the details on Foley's business career that were cited by Fedele were originally contained in an article last month by The Courant's veteran political reporter Jon Lender.

Foley's campaign manager, Justin R. Clark, had publicly questioned whether Fedele - who is running on a platform as a fiscally conservative Republican - should accept public money to run his political campaign. Fedele fired back that Foley had made millions of dollars in a career that included laying off workers - adding that Foley was using that money to fund his campaign.
During that squabble, longtime business executive Oz Griebel - who finished third among delegates at the Republican convention and is also running third in the latest Quinnipiac University poll - said that both Fedele and Foley are wrong.
