I think that I have my wife convinced that if this passes, it is time to leave Connecticut.

Being that she’s a life-time resident here, she’s been reluctant to move out of state.

I know... we’re sort of in the same boat, although we’re not life-long residents of CT. Hubby has a good (and unique) job here, and I’ve been caregiver to my elderly mother for years. I think it would be very difficult to move her out of state at this point. It’s not always that easy to just pack up and “leave Connecticut” as much as we might like to...


I moved (CT to FL) and it’s not so smooth. My wife misses her CT family and friends - badly. The CT housing market has kept the home we left empty. The escape from CT has created a stress level none of us has had to deal with for 25 years in CT - and the politicians know that most residents can’t/won’t move - til it gets beyond tolerable.

Sorry your move was so stressful. With tax rates high and going higher, no job growth and awful housing market, you got out when getting out was good... I know you must have a much lower cost of living now and some political sanity. Thank you FL., GOP! Hope your wife visit CT., once or twice a year...
