Another silly conspiracy theory could be that Malloy is Boston College graduate.
With the information at hand, I think it's quite reasonable to conclude that somebody told Malloy that the Guard was stationed at Rentschler and it would interfere with the game, and the guy didn't think twice about nixing the game, and the impact it would have. On the surface, completely understandable.
What's apparent to me, though, after reading the size of the operation, and getting more information, is that it jsut doesnt' seem to be that buzz word - proportional response.
If the size and the impact of the operation is of such a scale that it's warranted, then I've got no problems with the decision. As noted on another discussion, when I first got the news, I assumed that the majority of the CT Army National Guard and the Air wing were assembled centrally in the state at Rentschler at the intersectin of the two major highways crossing the state, with direct access to I-95, and conducting a variety of operations. We're talking about a collection of anywhere between 1,000 and 5,000 men.
But 100 soldiers doing supply offloading and loading and distribution of water and prepped food - and that's it?
That operation could easily have been moved for the game. There better be a whole lot of trucks moving in and out of Rentschler, otherwise the governor made a very big mistake, I think, that's going to cost the university a lot of money if the game doesn't get rescheduled very quickly at Rentschler.
It's got nothing to do with ignoring the needs of the people most affected by the Hurricane, it's about being an efficient leader, and creating an efficient, proportional response to problems around you.
Malloy - well - he's a BC graduate.
