Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ned Lamont issued a response late Monday afternoon to the statement released hours earlier by his Aug. 10 primary opponent, former Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy, concerning a Courant story Monday morning. The Courant's Monday story reported on a 2002 lawsuit against Lamont's cable TV company by an African American former employee.
In responding, Lamont's campaign threw back at Malloy the same headline that the ex-Stamford mayor had put on his statement earlier in the day.
The headline used by Malloy on his earlier statement was: "Malloy Says Courant Story Raises Questions Lamont Should Answer."
The headline on Lamont's response was: "Lamont Campaign says Courant Story Raises Questions Malloy Should Answer."
Here is Lamont's statement:
New Haven, CT -- Lamont for Governor campaign manager Joe Abbey released the following statement regarding Dan Malloy's missive from earlier today:
"Dan's long list of questions today betrays an outright ignorance and hostility toward Connecticut small businesses. That press release was clearly written by someone who has never worked in small business or created jobs in the private sector.
