Memo to Taxpayers/Voters:

Our government in Hartford has done nothing but overspend, raise taxes, create mandates on localities which force them to raise local taxes, strangle business with overregulation and mismanage the oversight of utilities. As a small business owner I am afraid I will be contributing to the 7000 lost jobs as I can no longer compete in the anti-business environment which has been created in Connecticut. I will be forced to move unless something changes real fast (and I'm not holding my breath for that). You have a chance to change the direction of the state and stop the downward spiral in November by not robotically voting the same gang back in to continue their war on business. Your job may depend on it.

Heed the advice of this small business man. The state of Connecticut and all of its cities and towns run by democrats are going to hell fast.

Our Economy is predominantly a Service based economy, not a manufacturing economy.
So to assess CT.'s economy on manufacturing instead of Service such as Health Care and Financial is just the wrong assessment.

Lost more jobs since February 14, 2008. Shame on the president, Congress, the governor and every mayor in Connecticut. Sent them crooks to jail for jail, then sent them to Hell when they died

Daily Horoscope for May 24

Aquarius

In complete contrast to yesterday, you have your head screwed on firmly today. Yet you won't be boringly sensible or drearily practical, so there's no danger of you having turned into a dry old stick overnight. It's a good day for keeping track of important details and processes, such as confirming a forthcoming appointment or filling in a form and then making a copy of it before sending it off.
