Few Connecticut residents felt compelled to attend the inaugural ceremonies for Gov. Dannel Malloy (D-WFP) in Hartford on Wednesday. Malloy, who was re-elected to a second term in November, was sworn in at the state armory.

As Business Insider reports, video footage of the inaugural parade shows the Governor speaking to a few attendees who braved the cold temperatures. One was his brother, Bill Malloy.
“Others were also related to the marchers” in the parade, points out Business Insider.
The Hartford Courant’s Christopher Keating tweeted out photos of the inaugural events.
