Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey isn’t too happy with some new signs welcoming drivers from her state into Connecticut. The signs were unveiled Wednesday…
The signs on the state line along I-91, I-84, and I-395 read"Welcome to Connecticut, Home of the Basketball Capital of the World."
The win gave UConn a total of 17 NCAA basketball national championships combined between the men's and women's teams. Healey may have had the 18 NBA Championships won by the Boston Celtics, including one this year, on her mind when she made the changes to the sign, or possibly the fact that the Basketball Hall of Fame is in Springfield.
The"Basketball Capital of the World" signs are part of a series of new welcome signs greeting drivers coming into Connecticut and it wasn't the only one drawing criticism from a governor of a nearby state.
