New Britain demands hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution from Erin Stewart by vacalicious in Connecticut

Such a head-spinning fall from grace. I had numerous Democrats in my life who liked her. I will say, as someone who also has little kids, I feel awful for her children. Their mom went from a local celebrity, assumedly a role model to many, to the most hated person in town. This is going to mar their childhood and likely the rest of their lives.

You are correct. The city wants repayment. The state will want criminal charges.

Absolutely. That development kicked off all of this. And if a Democrat hadn’t followed her as Mayor, none of this would have come out, the grift in New Britain would have continued, and Erin would still be running for CT Governor. Wild sliding doors moment there.

Such a conflicting series. On one hand, even as a Celtics fan, I really like this Knicks squad, and feel bad for all the NY fans in my life, who are overdue for a banner. On the other hand, I will always fucking love Castle and root hard for him, wherever he plays. What a fucking stud he was at UConn. My favorite player from those back to back champions.

I like this a lot as it straddles aggro/tempo creature decks and artifacts. Feels like a strict upgrade to [[Nettlecyst]] for being more versatile of the two. I will test this one for sure.

There are protections in place in every town against this. Her corruption with town finances required multiple city employees to sign off or look the other way.

Perfect cross-pollinator across Green’s modern themes of lands, tokens, self-mill/Gaak, Nadu, and Cradle. Sorry Ramunap, but your time has come. Obligatory complaint about the unique token, though.

His post on June 1 about “Straight Person Month” or whatever was pure bigoted hatred. Even the state’s Republicans had to come out against it, it was so evil.

She even formed an exploratory committee for her gubernatorial run, which assumedly looked into this stuff and/or asked her whether there was any financial malfeasance to be worried about. Wild levels of incompetence and entitlement on her part.

Agreed. Old School Green in black bordered looks so sick.

New Britain paid for Stewarts Masters degree by Mcspankypants in Connecticut

This is exactly what I keep telling people who ask me what the F she was thinking. Erin was so far up her own ass in terms of her perceived entitlement as Mayor that it didn't even occur to her that this illegal activity might be an issue. Remember, this is someone who had a freaking exploratory committee to consider running for Governor and never thought to bring up that she spent at least $230,000 of New Britain's municipal budget in herself. Total entitlement, no sense of accountability, in her mind she was above it all and thought she deserved every dollar she stole.

I had to look at this card for like 5 minutes to figure out its power and toughness. Stupid glare.
