Jack Orchulli for Comptroller

In his response to the Coventry RTC regarding their endorsement, Jack Orchulli remarked:

 

"I am very pleased to receive your endorsement for my candidacy.  As the State's Chief Financial Officer and taxpayers' advocate, I will bring financial sanity to our budget process by examining all expenses and programs and I will present the unvarnished facts to our citizens.  My successful business experience (where I balanced budgets, created jobs, and got things done) will help make a real difference in Hartford."
