[edit] Title

Whoever removed the title "Her Excellency" from the article should seriously read oh, I don't know, virtually every document published by the governor's office, most of which clearly display her title as "Her Excellency". Example: [1]. I'm for putting the title back unless someone can give a good enough reason not to, considering I've seen the title used on a number of documents published by her office. ||bass 05:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Homemaker"

I've deleted Rell's other supposed occupation. Unless she's made some claim to the title, I see no reason why someone who's in her third decade of elected office would need anything other than "Legislator." Cory.willis 08:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moody

Remocved POV material better suited to the gubernatorial election article anyway.

It got added back so If one insists, lets have a NPOV sourced statement as to the circusmtances, not unsourced speculative theories

This is opinion: " She also supports a lawsuit in response to the No Child Left Behind Act. Connecticut's Attorney General Richard Blumenthal filed the lawsuit against the US Department of Education to force Bush to amend the act because it would make Connecticut, which already has the most rigorous standardized testing curriculum in the country, to spend tens of millions of its own tax dollars to pay for unfunded federal mandates. The act as it stands now would force the state to pay for standardized testing every school year, instead of every 2 years, even though the State Department of Education says it will provide little new information about students' academic progress."--69.37.125.45 23:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I redid some of Gabe's edits. If you think a state would have a large surplus with a spendthrift governor.....well....

No one in CT knows this woman as anything but Jodi Rell. It's not a "nickname". Check the highway signs
