This being a state holiday, not surprised there hasn't been an official reaction to DeFilippo from our Governor, who graduated summa cum laude from BC, went to BC law school, is married to a BC grad, and whose son goes to BC.

Flipper is either incredibly ignorant and doesn't know the Ct. Gov and First Lady are BC people or incredibly arrogant to think he can make statements like this and Malloy has zero power to stop him. I vote for No. 2.

In support of ESPN’s capital investment and the commitment to retain and create full-time jobs in Connecticut, the state will provide:
A 10-year, $17.5 million loan from the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) for the construction of the facility and the creation of at least 200 jobs.
Up to $1.2 million to fund a job training grant program ranging from $300,000 for 200 jobs created to $150,000 for each additional 100 jobs created up to 800 jobs. Job training will be developed based on ESPN’s needs.
The Connecticut Development Authority may also assist with up to $6 million in sales use tax exemptions on capital equipment and construction materials.
