{news} statewide slate

[David Bedell]

Nancy Burton of Redding has agreed to run for Atty. General, and David Bue
of Westport has agreed to run for Treasurer.  Nancy, as most of you know, is
the founder of CT Coalition Against Millstone, and she attended the January
31 state meeting in Portland.  David is a Socially Responsible Investment
advisor with the First Affirmative Financial Network.  He will meet with the
Fairfield County chapter tonight (Thursday Feb. 9) at Norwalk City Hall.

This leaves us with two slots open before we can submit our petition
application for the Green slate:  Lieutenant Governor and Comptroller.

If you have any suggestions for Lt. Gov., please send these to the listserv
or to me privately, or to Tim McKee and Cliff Thornton.  It will be up to
Cliff to invite the potential candidate, since the Lt. Gov. is his running
mate and should work closely with him as a team.

For Comptroller, someone with accounting or budgetary experience would be
best, but at this point we are looking for anyone just to stand as a
placeholder and help us achieve ballot access.

Some preference will be given to women and minorities.  Nancy is the only
woman on the statewide slate so far.
