With the attention we’re all devoting to the presidential race, it’s easy to forget that we will also be electing Connecticut’s entire state legislature.

Their first step was appointing the Charter Revision Committee. As board president, Curtis gets to make committee assignments. He stacked the committee with opponents of the mayor (including Sherwood and Bewkes), giving the anti-mayor faction a two-thirds majority. He then appointed himself and Bewkes as committee co-chairs.

In a throwback to the lingo of the great inflation of the 1970s, we hear today’s central bankers talking about a wage-price spiral spinning out of control. Catalyzing this alleged spiral are multiple supply-side shocks since 2020. They include Covid lockdowns and energy price spikes that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
