As an alternative, how about electing some Republicans.

There are two more unicorns living in New Haven CT than there are Republicans living there.

Why can’t the very unstable geniuses of Yale fix New Haven?

They are already on site.

Think Globally, act locally....

“Connecticut is a mess but it’s the urban areas that are ruining it. New Haven, Bridgewater, Hartford, etc., are awful areas - all run by Democrats.”

That’s true of EVERY STATE in the Union! Even states that are currently RED, have Blue cities. It’s just that in those states, there is a large enough rural population to more than offset the “Osorio Cortez Gibbsmedats!” Make no mistake about it, the large Urban RAT populations will eventually be the “majority” in this country. The question then becomes, what will the people who pay for all of it do? Nevada is in the throes of going Blue. When my wife left Las Vegas in 1966, there were less than 80,000 people there. Now there are 2.5 million in a state that’s got a population of just under 4 million. Go do the math. If Trump can’t prevail, we’re done!

New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford are what causes Connecticut to be blue. When you get into the small towns (Ellington, Somers) and small cities (New Britain), you will see Republicans running the towns and state senators and representatives being Republicans. Not as conservative as Southern Republicans, but good fiscally conservative R.

The rating agency said it expects the increases in salaries, medical benefits and pensions will exceed revenues that depend on property taxes, given the “strained state funding environment.”

Very smart indeed.

You are borrowing money to pay the interest on your debt and you are giving your employees raises and better medical benefits.

Only democrat politicians would think this is a good idea.

What they should be doing is laying off employees, freeze salaries and benefits, sell unused or unneeded real estate, privatize services and cut retirees benefits.
