Author: Don Pesci Don Pesci has been a Connecticut native all his life. He began writing columns for the Journal Inquirer of Manchester in the early 80’s and now contributes to several papers in Connecticut and elsewhere. In addition, he has maintained this blog since November 04, one of the oldest (in the good sense) in the state and an oasis for parched libertarians, conservatives and others who wish to escape the prehensile claw of overweening government. Recently retired, Don is devoting his time to hobbling those public nuisances, not all of them politicians, who have devoted themselves for many years to the destruction of his beloved and ill defended state.
