Seeking Connecticut’s Best Tourist Spot

Connecticut is betting $27 million that the state can become a hub for tourism. One plan is to find the most popular spot in the state, as picked by voters.

 

Connecticut’s “Still Revolutionary” tourism campaign is reaching out to its Facebook fans and Twitter followers to find the best spot in the state.

The campaign announced on Tuesday that it’s using its Facebook and Twitter pages to elicit submissions for “a CT destination that most exemplified ‘still revolutionary’” for the next two weeks. Eventually the submissions will be open to a vote. 

Nominations can be written on the group’s Facebook page, provided the location, "enhances and supports the image of Connecticut as ‘still revolutionary’ a destination that continues to inspire visitors" and “serves as a true tourism attraction/destination for the state, either built or natural.”

Submissions are also accepted through Twitter. Not eligible for nominations are restaurants, individuals, retail stores, cities or municipalities.

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
