connecticut. ross spotted a 17-year-old teenage girl walking to her boyfriend's house. michael malchik was a homicide detective with the connecticut state police. >> tammy williams was the first connecticut victim. >> i saw her walking along the side of the road. i followed her. i grabbed her and dragged her to the side of the pond. i raped her, and then i strangled her and put her -- threw her into the pond when i was done. >> debra taylor, his second victim, met her demise in the danielson town green. >> around midnight, debbie taylor had had a fight with her husband concerning a broken down vehicle they were in. and she was sitting here in the park, and michael was driving around, and he saw her apparently distraught, and he offered her a ride home. instead of giving her a ride home, instead he drove her to a cornfield in canterbury where he sexually assaulted her, murdered her and threw her in a riverbed and left her. >> remarkably, ross continued hiding behind a mask of normality. underneath

and i thank the citizens of connecticut for calling or writing to me. i agree that the immediate solution and agreement with them is not only to raise the debt ceiling, but also to cut spending. as the reid proposal makes clear, dollar for dollar to match every increase in that debt ceiling, without tax increases -- none -- without any cuts in medicare or social security. none. those basic principles in the reid proposal are what should be embodied in what the outcome is of this debate. the markets need a real solution, not a short-term fix to, demonstrate that we're commited to achieving real results in cutting spending. ann from connecticut called yesterday to say a short-term plan would not provide the certainty the markets are desperately seeking, and i agree. no short-term plan can provide that kind of certainty. it risks a credit rating downgrade and ensures that we will be back here in another six months. and as much as we may criticize the rating agency -- and i have been one to criticize them most vehemently, as an attorney general of my state

and to be able to collaborate with the connecticut historical society. i would also like to thank accountable for allowing this collaboration tonight. we generally appreciate their support. josh, i first met while he was researching about noah webster, and then later on he was doing a similar discussion tonight, except on a different language character, roget. a fabulous book. i have just got hold of the noah webster book. i can't wait to go through it after reading the first chapter or so, i can tell you it's one of the more accessible books i've read. usually had to kind of got through with a knife. this one you glide right through. it is a great book is put together and i can't wait to hear him tonight. well, josh kendall was born in new york city. he received his ba from yale where he studied various literature. he also did graduate work, at johns hopkins. for his excellence in reporting on psychiatry has received national journalism awards from both the national mental health association, which is now mental health america, and the american psychoan

connecticut eliminates the establishment under the influence of the jeffersonian republicans. so one of the things that happens, you do have 12 states that have various forms of establishments. they all are eliminated over the course of the 19th century with people quoting jefferson to in rhode island they take the virginia statute for scholars and religious freedom, put in the constitution, never say it's the virginia statute or jefferson gave it to us but it is word for word. the question is who is influencing these things, and that's why part of a new book is about what historians and supreme court justices say no, it's about virginia. they are right. so connecticut is influenced rhode island, many of these places to adopt the virginian attitude. but that particular letter is part of that. it's jefferson trying to encourage the connecticut people to develop a virginia tech separation of church and state. >> would you like to add? >> just to add to that, i think some of these, you're exactly right, some of these clauses disappear. some rather quickly. i think south carolina

now, what do the people of connecticut have?ns. >> this is awkward. >> joining us now from hartford, connecticut, governor dannel malloy. were you lecturing chris christie? let's start there. >> i don't think so. he started talking about allowing states to go bankrupt. how did that go for him. people say things that sometimes don't make sense. this is a debate that's more important than who has the bigger belt. it's policy. >> oh! >> it is so hot. >> it is so hot here. >> bring it boys. >> what? >> you do argue over things. >> belts, bigger office. silly. just silly. >> let me ask you governor. get us up to date. what chris christie was talking about was a battle you may be having with the unions. many say you bent over backwards and rejected the package. do you now have to start cutting employees? >> yeah. i told them i would do that. connecticut has to balance the budget in short term basis, which a lot of people are concentrating on. we have a package we can no longer afford. we have the worst funded pension plan in the unite

you can have an established church like in new england or connecticut and allow people to worship the way they want without persecution. this is what gets me in trouble, especially those on the left, but the founding fathers i argue in the book were not diocese. i'll drop a bomb there and leave it there and we can debate that in the q&a and finally all the founding fathers i argue believed that religion, even christianity in some daises was important to producing a vir choose republic and making moral citizens, benevolent citizens and so forth. they clearly were not believing they were, you know, they didn't want religion to play any role in the government or at least i should say in the culture so i'll stop there. [applause] >> i'd like to thank the authors for doing a great job staying within the time limits allowing time for questions. a few administrative points. i want to thank m. revack and company out of west virginia, and remind you the book festival events are free and we'd like to keep it that way. please consider a donation. there's envelopes in the back or donate online. t

connecticut, for instance, connecticut, which has the highest income per capita in the country collectsmore than $5,000 per resident. part of that is the taxes connecticut residents pay to new york to commute to work, which counts as connecticut's tax burden, of course. believe me, it's even worse in the state of new york. take a look here. new york places a lot of its tax burdens on residents from other states, think tourism and commuters, still, new yorkers have to shoulder the second highest tax burden in the country, but the highest tax burden is paid by residents living in -- here we go, ready? new jersey. that's where i grew up. residents in the garden state shell out a whopping 12.2% of their income. a lot of burden comes from new jersey residents that commute to the big apple and pay taxes there as well, making new jersey the number one state where people pay the most in taxes. good 'ol new jersey. do you know where your children are? you better find out soon or you could face a fine or even worse. >>> child cur few laws. odds are, your city has one. minors are required to be at
