Around New England: Making a Killing in Connecticut

One way or another:

"Fewer Conn. businesses close in quarter

Connecticut state figures show that 3,000 businesses closed in the first quarter of 2010, but nearly 6,900 filed paperwork to incorporate. The figures released by the secretary of the state’s office show first-quarter closings were 17.4 percent lower than a year ago. State officials say that’s cause for cautious optimism that Connecticut’s business climate may be improving. Don Klepper-Smith, chairman of the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisers, says the state’s economic recovery is becoming “increasingly more tangible for both businesses and consumers.’’ (AP)."

"Man charged with slaying of Yale doctor

Police say a man charged with killing a Yale University doctor outside his Connecticut home is a Chinese citizen last known to be living in Georgia. Branford police say Lishan Wang, 44, is charged with murder, attempted murder, and firearms offenses in the fatal shooting yesterday of Vajinder Toor outside Toor’s home. Police say that Wang also fired at Toor’s pregnant wife, but that she was not hit. Wang, from Beijing, was last known to be living in Marietta, Ga. Police said he is believed to have known Toor from their time working at the same New York hospital (AP)."

That are not done investigating yet?

Just fell right off the old MSM radar screen -- like so many things.

At least there is still the love of a sister:

"Winner will not have to share lottery windfall with her sister" by Peter Schworm, Globe Staff | May 14, 2010

Written contracts, like even the strongest sisterly bonds, can be broken.

So said the judge who ruled Tuesday that an 87-year-old Connecticut woman who won a $500,000 lottery jackpot does not have to share the windfall with her sister.

Superior Court Judge Cynthia K. Swienton determined that a notarized contract between the sisters to share any gambling proceeds was no longer in effect when their longtime lottery numbers came in, because of a previous falling-out....

This is worthy of a full news article, huh?

Not much happening in Connecticut according to the Boston Globe.

Theresa Sokaitis, 84, sued her sister, Rose Bakaysa, 87, in 2005 for breach of contract....

I told you everything ends up in court over here in "Free" AmeriKa.

They both deserve each other.

The two sisters were close growing up, but grew closer after Bakaysa’s husband died in 1981. When Foxwoods Casino opened, they started going two or three times a week....

Hey, you can't bond any closer than that!

What an
agenda-pushing PoS filler in my newspaper.
