I Was In Good Hands Today
I was in very "good hands" today as I visited the David Gonzalez Agency Inc. at 200 Connecticut Avenue in Norwalk.

No report on how those in the hood should turn in their illegal guns or how this will prevent another Newtown incident but both parties are patting each other on the back for approval.
