Those who disdain Wright for wanting to foster business and industry are the same ones who don't notice all of the empty storefronts downtown. Or maybe it's just Jill Fitzgerald, who only lets her husband do the talking for her.

Let's analyze this....<BR/><BR/>ESPN has a constant growing list of young people that are dying to intern there. These are the people they can groom to the technical level necessary for their future growth.<BR/><BR/>The State does not need to intercede with training ESPN employees for future employees because ESPN (as well as any other company in Connecticut) can arrange for customized training through the Community College circuit any time they want to. All they have to do is call the local college and make the arrangements. Business in this area do this all the time. The manufacturing industry has training through the Community Colleges, as does many hospitals and other clinical environments. <BR/><BR/>Universities and Colleges all across the country have Broadcast related degrees as standard curriculum. These are the people that ESPN hires, and there is no shortfall in students pursuing these degrees.<BR/><BR/>Wright needs to get a grip on reality. This is not something the State should be stepping into without ESPN requiring it. They can do this on their own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-7224574871850811842008-10-28T19:35:00.000-04:002008-10-28T19:35:00.000-04:00What the hell is this wacko talking about!

There is no need to give them more money to find employees. <BR/><BR/>Hey Cris lets invest in that frivolous thinking you have going on over there on how to eliminate the state income tax!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-24735657619345052602008-10-28T19:28:00.000-04:002008-10-28T19:28:00.000-04:00sounds like a ploy by wright to get a jobsounds like a ploy by wright to get a jobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-62947888136196365192008-10-28T19:07:00.000-04:002008-10-28T19:07:00.000-04:00So there's no problem and he wants to fix it.
