CTPost.com: Connecticut -- small and green and prosperous -- prides itself on its environmentalism.

In a report that normally tries to weigh the good and the bad equally, the Council on Environmental Quality looked at the state's ecology in 2012, and in a March 28 report found it to be in a three-year stall to which funding cuts, climate change and complacency all contributed.
"Connecticut's environment is resistant to improvement,'' the report's first sentence reads.
"We said the same thing in 2010, in 2011," said Karl Wagener, the council's director.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection takes issue with this dour conclusion.
