Greenwashing?

At the March 23rd meeting of the Governor's Stimulus Working Group, I asked if stimulus projects would be filtered against smart growth criteria (responsible growth criteria in Connecticut State-speak).

Chief of Staff Lisa Moody answered that 25 percent of the projects are required to be "green" and that staff from the Office of Responsible Growth is helping review the projects.

When I read the minutes of the meeting, my question had somehow morphed to "Is Connecticut committed to green?"

I got the real answer there, I fear.
