I find this quote suspect.

Shitty journalism not to at least include a citation or link to the original quote so that readers can get the context if they want it. It would be good journalism for the author to include the full context.

What's my saying that Connecticut has the lowest rates out of the New England states or the New England has the lowest rates generally out of the whole country?

There's really no way to discern what this quote is supposed to be without any other context. The article does not even attempt to clarify the fact that the quote could be taken in more than one way.
