Pat Sajak's voice could be heard as I approached one of the last houses on my list in the Harrison Road neighborhood of North Branford Wednesday night. I rang a doorbell and waited patiently for the door to open. Leo greeted me with an inquisitive "Can I help you?" I introduced myself and asked him if he was ready for a State Senator who will stand up for him. His eyes opened wide and he laughed, "I am! But you politicians are all the same, sayin' you'll fix our problems...... but ya know.......... no one says how." Then with a smile, I told Leo a little about myself. He was impressed that I didn't have a political career and that I was a small business owner. "yea that's all great, but how are you going to fix the mess we're in?" My response was honest, as it always is. "Well, I don't have all the answers, quite frankly I'm always skeptical of someone who does. Although, I do know that one thing we need to do is stop wasteful spending. One way to do this would be to privatize some programs. Some programs run by the state can be done for almost half the cost if privatized"
Leo smiled, and stepped back and said, "Now that's what I've been waiting for! Young lady you have my vote!"
