CT Gov. Growing a Spine? Wants to Work with Trump on Gas & Nukes

In January, we told you that faced with the possibility of blackouts, Connecticut’s Democrat Governor, Ned Lamont, wants to keep his nuclear and gas-fired power plants (see Gov.

We've long called him out for his lack of spine in standing up to the environmental left (see CT Gov. Lamont Caves to Radicalized Kids, Opposes Gas Power Plant). But what's this? It appears Lamont may actually be growing a spine!
