"Senator wants all schools to open on same day"
According to the AP article:
Sen. Thomas Gaffey, a Democrat from Meriden, is upset that some schools are opening this week while others are not.... Gaffey says it makes no sense to hold classes for a few days this week, only to send students and teachers home for a long three-day holiday weekend.
Here's a suggestion, Senator: Run for school board. Then you can weigh in on these weighty issues. Otherwise, butt out.
