Visiting Greenwich/New Canaan/Darien as I do from time to time it's tough to see evidence of any distress.The teenagers still drive the Ferraris...the parents still drive the Bentleys.
I remember back in the 1970s when CT was having "fiscal" problems. The woman governor, maybe one of two nationwide, wanted to sell off the state silverware, made by Paul Revere, for an estimated $50K.
That was back when news was real news, such that it may be, and reported as such.
