I see you know much of the (former) Connecticut economy. Since you don't currently reside here how is it you know so much?

I trained as an inspector at Hamilton Standard back in 79" eventually becoming a leadman and and then First article inspector for all customer end units.

In the early 90's all the machining was vended out and the machinist's were let go.

I am currently a contractor working at UTC Aerospace as a Quality Engineer.

The brain drain is unbelievable, all the experienced people are gone and the quality of the engineering is pathetic.

Nearly every blueprint have multiple errors as such if you followed it, you couldn't even build it.

Now onto Malloy and the Democratically controlled Legislator.

Spend, spend and borrow is all they do, of course this is followed by tax, tax and tax some more.

So what do they do? blame the economy, "we have to raise taxes because revenues are down"
Gee, I wonder why?

Rant off.
