2 hours by magic carpet? That’s a 2 1/2 hour ride into Boston without traffic. 3+ during rush hour.

Unfortunately you can’t get from Hartford to Boston by train because we suck at public transit. The only option is southern CT on the Amtrak line. The drive is rough, when I went to Boston from western CT once a week I left at 4:30am to not get stuck in that last leg of rush hour backup between Natick and Boston.

I live in a more red than average part of the state within her district. No one seemed to complain when she helped award millions of dollars in community funding to the district for critical improvements that were long overdue.
