There was a time, not so long ago, when Connecticut was a haven for those who wanted to avoid the obscene taxes in New York. People from New Jersey found it as a refuge from the overcrowding and increasing costs of living in the “Garden State” (an oxymoron). It won’t be long before the trends reverse.
Down here in NC we are witnessing the same thing.
Yankees come down from New York and New Jersey because we have (had) lower taxes, less regulation and lower cost of living. Once here, they have started voting for the same crap that they tried to leave, but now they are inflicting it on the natives as well.
