The rats are starting to get desperate to hold on to their bloated, failed governement employees, retirees and parasites...O’Malley is like every other Leftist, a liar.
isn’t that huge indian casino in Conn?.....maybe the shysters can ask for a donation...I’m sure the indians financed the rat campaigns...
The problem with Connecticut is that there are simply too many rich people who run the place. However, they aren’t stupid, and they will eventually see that there is no end to tax increases.
Malloy only won by a tiny majority, the next time it might be the other way around. The main problem is lack of good Republican candidates.
I really hate living in CT. I am making plans to move in the next year.
What angers me, is that they had an emergency fund 2 years ago what that jerkoff Malloy came around. He drained it into the state employees pension. Then last year Hurricane Irene and the October snowstorm comes, it was bone dry. No emergency fund. So Malloy was first in line for FEMA aid.
He came in and raised every tax in the state, and they are still have problems. That included a “retro-active” income tax increase in 2011. I know what will happen next. They will raise them again.
I cannot wait to move. I know there are taxes everywhere, maybe I can hope there are less idiots/corrupts managing the money.
“It’s certainly premature to even speculate” about where to cut spending, according to Laurence Grotheer, press aide for Connecticut’s Democratic Senate Majority Office.
CT has/needs a Democratic Senate Majority Office? Further, this office needs a press aide/spokeshole? I ‘speculate’ that a place to start may be in eliminating both the ‘press aide’ (try using e-mail to make announcements)and the “Democratic Senate Majority Office” (why is there a need for this office?).
Yet another state to stay out of. Let them fester in their own juices.
Malloy sucks, to be sure. But I really do find a few things about living here fascinating (if I didn’t have to pay for it, that is.)
It speaks to what’s going to bankrupt the whole country: Malloy tries to make cuts – some silly, sure, but he actually tried to do “little” things like close a bunch of the Welcome Centers to save a few million. “OH NO! YOU CAN’T CLOSE THE WELCOME CENTERS!!!” cried the populace.
He actually tried (as much as a Dem can) to take on the teacher’s unions. “OH NO! YOU CAN’T DO THAT!” cried the populace.
Reduce state pensioners? “OH NO! YOU CAN’T DO THAT” cried the populace.
It’s a joke. Get a job with the state and you can be an incompetent buffoon but you’l get early retirement and a full pension and guaranteed promotion/raises. Work there long enough and you lose sight of the real world and actually feel persecuted. It’s a conversation I’ve had a million times – as my wife works at a large insurance employer that continues to lay off highly skilled workers every couple months, year after year.
It’s insanity.
The Bigger picture point is, the majority of the nation will never, ever allow real cuts to ever be made ever and any politician that does it, will be out of a job. Term limits would solve that issue in a heartbeat.
America had a choice between a GM mgt style vs. a Ford / Mulally downsizing, re-engineering processes and getting healthy.
America chose and CT especially chose the GM model.
It is that simple, we are so screwed.
We has individuals need to metaphorically divest of GM stock, i.e. prepare for the crash of the leviathan, it is 2004 and like George Will predicted, we can see it coming....
Sounds just like what they did in New Jersey. Corzine handed CHristie a much bigger deficit than they were disclosing.
“The main problem is lack of good Republican candidates.”
Not really. We had some really good candidates in my area. They were even polling at over 60%. They lost by over 50%.
It’s clear that there was some serious screwing with the election.
Well the state was happy to announce on the front pages the other day that the State of Ct. Is leading the way on implementing Obamas Health care exchanges,so there,that will solve the fiscal train wreck of the Democrat socialist state of ct.
voters are so used to be lying lied to on some states, this will get about 5 secs. on the news, if that.
I live in California, the same over-staffed, overpaid and underworked thousands of state workers, past and present, still munch at the trough like a famished hog.
The Democrats have one play in their playbook...raise taxes and fees on business.
They produce nothing, and the parasites keep on eating what the state workers haven’t eaten, so their only source of cash is to shake down businesses.
Trust me, the feeders and the looters will demand more and more as the unions, illegals and welfare class (see illegals) continue to squeeze businesses to relocate or close (see Hostess).
Hunker down, Obama, Holder and Malloy (and that Libtard O’Malley in MD) will be coming for your guns and 401K.
Their more Conservative then you would think. n/s
Tom Scott should've been elected rather than Rowland, but what is really needed in Hartford is a STRONG CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN PARTY and not these RINOs.

He didn’t win, his rodent buddies stole the race for him.
