I regret to inform you that my wife and I, in agreement with Governor Lamont, are terminating our Partnership with the State of Connecticut in which we and the State would partner to help disengaged and disconnected students to get through high school and into jobs. (1/4)
It’s tragic that this partnership is ending because of the bad behavior of a couple of people operating in the broken political environment that now exists in the State of Connecticut and despite many great people working together to help these children. (2/4)
Though we won’t provide this support within the Partnership, my wife Barbara and I have decided to maintain our $100M commitment to these students and will continue to work with those who are on this mission with us. (3/4)
We hope that the State will consider matches on a case by case basis. If you are interested in what happened, you can read my wife’s statement and Governor Lamont’s statement and you can hear Governor Lamont’s press announcement here: bit.ly/2XbHpEX (4/4)
