Governor Dannel P. Malloy has called the media together to announce that he will be off to Davos, Switzerland on January 25 th for four or five days to speak at the 2012 World Economic Forum and that the University of Connecticut Foundation was kind enough to offer to pick up the tab of about $4,500.
Don't get me wrong, I think it is pretty damn cool that Dan Malloy got himself one of those "impossible to get invitations" to join the world elite at one of the world's most exclusive events which happens to take place at one of the world's most exclusive ski resorts.
This year's Davos topic is " The Great Transformation: Shaping New Models , whereby leaders return to their core purpose of defining what the future should look like, aligning stakeholders around that vision and inspiring their institutions to realize hotel st augustine miami reviews that vision."
Not to mention the conference co-chairs  - including Yasuchika Hasegawa, President and Chief Executive Officer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Vikram Pandit, Chief Executive Officer, Citi Corp., Paul Polman, hotel st augustine miami reviews Chief Executive Officer, Unilever, Alejandro Ramírez, Chief Executive Officer, Cinepolis, Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer, Facebook and Peter Voser, Chief Executive Officer, Royal Dutch Shell.
Commissioner Esty is a regular at this ultra-elite conference so his travel and lodging will be paid for by the World Economic Forum but that s okay because the World Economic Forum doesn t do business hotel st augustine miami reviews with the state.
The damn media is such a pain in the ass.  I mean it was only $10,000 for new carpets and furniture in the President's Mansion but they acted like it you were stealing the food out of the mouths of babies. hotel st augustine miami reviews What did they expect that you'd live with the old carpeting?
We saw that you took the money for the renovations to your official residence out of the student residential life account and, well, to tell you the truth, we need $4,500 for the Governor hotel st augustine miami reviews to go to a big economic hotel st augustine miami reviews conference in Switzerland at the end of the month.
Pulling money from UConn s residential life account seems like a bit of a reach, but we were wondering if you could call over to the UConn Foundation and see if the Governor could get a few bucks to cover the trip.
Yes, yes, I know that we made the deepest hotel st augustine miami reviews cuts in history to the University of Connecticut's budget and we are withholding another hotel st augustine miami reviews $20 million to balance this year's budget but we did let you raise tuition 25% over the next few years and you can't say we didn't come through on getting those Jackson Lab mouse people here to Connecticut.
I mean, let's face it, not only do I want to be able to say I helped send the Governor to Davos but I think it's a really good investment for the University.  If UConn picks up the tab for this trip, hopefully the Governor won't be so quick to make huge cuts to us next year.
Oh and Governor, I know you are going to be really busy there with three different presentations at the Conference but don't forget, Bill Gates is hosting hotel st augustine miami reviews the Microsoft Party at the Seehof Hotel from 10pm till midnight hotel st augustine miami reviews on January 26 th.
I m definitely glad its 444 a night, and not 999. Though hotel st augustine miami reviews it surely would have been a good jab at our politics. Congrats to our Governor for picking up an invitation to this event. Some people are knee-jerk whining that he s even going. That if he didn t go we d save money by not spending anything. But to be invited is a strong hotel st augustine miami reviews signal that both Malloy and our state are being given a chance to be seriously recognized on a global economic front.
