It could soon become easier to get an electric vehicle in Connecticut.
A bill recently advanced out of the transportation committee that will allow manufacturers to sell electric vehicles directly to consumers something only automobile dealer to ships can now do. It would amend state statutes to allow electric vehicle manufacturers with sustainable business models and electric-only production to be granted new or used car dealer’s licenses. It’s now before the legislative commissioner’s office.

I have this really bad personality defect. Well, there are many, but this one’s so obvious I probably should do something about it. Counseling. Reprogramming. Mortification.
It troubles my family members and friends because I keep what was known in the olden days as “bad company.”
You see, I consort with liberals and conservatives . even though it’s not always easy and nowadays it’s practically verboten. Quite honestly, it would be easier to pick a side and just delete half of my address book, but I can’t do that because you never know when I might need some good legal advice from my liberal lawyer or a good colonoscopy from my conservative gastroenterologist.
