Well the best I can tell is the CEO's are all waiting for the Governor to give them ALL millions and…Read More millions of OUR money to run their businesses as he did for the First 5...make that First I lost count. Business needs employees, employees need to be able to afford to live here. You cant afford to live in CT due to Democratic spending.

The average was $1.85 when Bush left office. Are we supposed to applaud this new average?

I am rather tired of hearing that the reason we are broke is because the health benefits, state…Read More pensions and so on are the cause of the states finacial situation. When are people going to realize that the over all state budget is to blame. So with that being said we need to look at who keeps passing these budgets. Ignoring that cancer and not doing anything about it is equivalent to going to get your vehicle fixed and the mechanic says the expense of repairing your vehicle is so high because your insurance is expensive. I have sat silent for many years because years ago things were not that great either but I said give this liberal way of thinking a chance. Now the proof is in the economy. It is all in the Windsor dump. Ohh yeah thats going away too. Imagin that. We need to as Ct citizens start looking at this seriously and start changing our way of thinking. With that maybe we can start rolling back to an actual form of Republic we are supposed to be. Not this County Government I keep hearing about. If it is sold like, smells like or distructive like the old Regionalism theme then it must be Regionalism. Which means we do not want nor need it. I am not intelligent but I have learned how to pick through these so called experts words of advice that they are nothing more than a salesman for the same kinda government that got us here to begin with. So either I am smarter than I think or they are not as smart as they are advertised to us as being.

It is interesting to see that we have been on a downward spiral for the past 25 years. The State of…Read More Connecticut has over this period voted consistently in one liberally oriented direction. Is it possible it has created this “unfriendly to business” environment mentioned in the article?
In the same period we read the achievement gap has widened and it would seem that ALL students are doing poorly. Maybe it’s the same liberally oriented idea of throwing money at something and hoping it will improve the results. It does not seem to be working.
Maybe it is the belief that big government is good and big business is bad, VS. a more conservative belief that both are bad. I just think big government is worse.
With big business, I, as a consumer can vote with my pocket book, thus letting my feelings and money benefit, or hinder an enterprise.
In the big government world I can’t refuse to pay my taxes. Instead I must pay them period. I can vote out those that hurt me through the policies, laws and regulations they promote, but too few see things the way I do, unfortunately. I can make the ultimate vote and that is with my feet, I can move to another State as many are starting to do.
My major fear is to the Teachers and other State funded retirees. Some minor pain today is better that the whole lot of pain that surely will be paid tomorrow. Remember what your mom or dad said to you as a kid, take your medicine now with 1 minute of yuck, or suffer for days of fever, pain and feeling bad.

I use to love to hang out at Bart's. That is when life was innocent but fun. Where have those days…Read More gone.

Another sign of spring is when the Farmington River floods Bart's famous parking lot.
