Former Stamford Dan Malloy came from behind in the final days of the primary in August to win the Democratic nomination for governor, defeating Greenwich millionaire Ned Lamont by a surprising landslide margin.

Now Malloy is facing another Greenwich millionaire in the general election - Republican Tom Foley - and their campaigns already are exchanging negative ads. But Malloy became the frontrunner last week based on the first head-to-head polling for the two gubernatorial candidates.

Malloy joined Mike, Dave, and Brian at MDB Studios in Avon on Monday for a special edition of Sunday Morning Coffee. Listen to the hour-long interview above and check back Sunday as the guys deconstruct their interview. Check out photos from the studio here.

Nice interview.  Malloy is certainly articulate and knowledgeable.

While Malloy says many share the blame for the fiscal mess of this state and country, he puts Gov. Rell and President Bush respectively at the top of the list.  Malloy spent 14 years proposing and managing budgets as Mayor of Stamford. For his last fully completed fiscal year in office, here is the property tax burden of Stamford homeowners for Fiscal Year 2008-09 taxes: 163rd highest (of 169 towns) median property tax burden as a percent of income for those occupying single family houses.  It would be unfair to place much blame for that high property tax burden at his feet.  However, by his own standards, maybe he should take the brunt of the blame.
