...promised not to raise taxes at the same time that she pledged to expand social welfare programs. But Grasso campaigned largely against a highly unpopular utility rate increase. Once she had disclosed that consumers had been overcharged $19 million in one year because of a miscalculation and began to exploit that fact, Steele did not have a chance...
...masculine terms from the state constitution (it passed). Connecticut voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment barring sex discrimination identical to the as yet unratified national Equal Rights Amendment.

We certainly don't have to look far for proof of the interdependence of the vested interests controlling the state, the values which education cultivates, and the institutions (military and police) which enforce these values. Murders such as those at Southern should bring us to a higher level...
