RMA Meeting: John Blankley "In Defense of Connecticut”

How does the quality of life in Connecticut measure up in comparison with other states in the USA? The 2016 USA poll on “America’s best states to live in” ranks Connecticut second, a leader in median household income, the education level of its workforce, health care, and life expectancy. However, the state has been sharply criticized for its fiscal crisis and as being inhospitable to business. 

Entrepreneur, financial expert, and civic leader, John Blankley will offer a realistic and nuanced assessment of life, opportunity and challenges in modern day Connecticut. Blankley has been active in municipal government in Greenwich, serving on the RTM and currently on the BET.
