Corruption in Connecticut?!
Ya don’t say?
Who woulda thunk it possible?
Well, if you ever dealt with Connecticut cops you’d understand. The CON-necticut police are in a contest with the MASShole and RHODE-Rope-A-Dope Islander cops to discover which state’s police force can prove themselves the worst examples of public virtue.

Flooding the zone I see. “Everyone is stealing”. Go ahead, prosecute us all. It would take 500 years.

Public housing authorities in CT and all over the country have not made any headlines recently—but they are a fraud and theft free for all and have been for decades.

In addition any federal or state money that went to CT cities for any other purpose probably has over a twenty percent fraud rate.

It is a big grab-fest out there.
