Nice going Connecticut... I'm glad I'm not there. I knew when I fought against the income tax, Hartford will spend more money. I voted for the anti income tax candidate Tom Scott and I helped​ campaign for him.

Tom had two votes from this household back when.

I am posting today, Dec. 28th, after hearing about the 6.99% pension withholding trick just unveiled for CT.

I don’t see a thread on that yet.

At that time, I was single and I was at the campaign headquarters most days. It was a great time, I had fun and the Courant had a picture of me when we heard the Republicans won the house.

Time for consolidation. In Massachusetts there are a few county systems and the one for Commonwealth employees. Simpler and not in quite as bad shape as most of our neighbors.

Isn’t Illinois short by $151B? I read that earlier today.

I think almost all government pension systems are underfunded, but of course, some more than others.

We had a County Commissioner who tried to get free lifetime health insurance benefits for all Commissioners (elected to four-year terms). Fortunately, the word got out, and he narrowly escaped a community beatdown.
