Summer of Recovery

By TomTGRWolcott / June 24, 2012 /

Just two short years ago, seems longer to me, the Obama administration hailed that it was to be “The Summer of Recovery”.   The stimulus bill was passed by congress, both the house and senate, of course it was alL under the control of the Democrats. WILD and EXOTIC claims were made that this new law would…

State of Connecticut Not Better after Tax Hikes

By TomTGRWolcott / June 24, 2012 /

I am amazed that the lights are still on here in the great state of Connecticut.  What even amazes me more is that this state after the largest tax increase in history by the Malloy Administration has still resulted in a deficit.

Symptom of the Disease: Journalist thinks Connecticut governor must “win” money for state

By Steve McGough / December 30, 2010 /

Yes, I understand the current political climate requires town finance managers to beg for money from the state, and state leaders must beg for money from the federal government, but can we agree this is a problem? Actually, it’s incrementally grown from a small issue to what any well-informed TEA Party member would refer to…

By TomTGRWolcott / June 6, 2012 /

Like the federal budget the state of Connecticut’s debt keeps rising.  At the time of this writing the states debt is  $40,629,690,000+ and rising despite tax hikes and new taxes levied on services such as pet grooming, hair cuts. The states debt clock can be found here:  http://www.usdebtclock.org/state-debt-clocks/state-of-connecticut-debt-clock.html The Connecticut Republicans are now asking “Can…

Joe Scarborough:Look what’s happened to CT since the income tax

By Jim Vicevich / July 22, 2011 /

It’s flatlined. In a rare moment of candor from Morning Joe cohost Joe Scarborough, the former Republican congressman tries to explain to his lefty colleagues why raising taxes over and over again is not good for business it’s not good for the economy and it’s not good for creating jobs. And his exhibit a is…

Feel-good firearm legislation in Connecticut – Gun offender registration

By Steve McGough / February 11, 2011 /

In Connecticut, after you serve your time in jail and complete your probation for killing a person with a knife, there is no requirement – or current suggestion by lawmakers – to require you “register” as a knife offender. Heck, there is no requirement you register with the state even if you are a convicted…

Foley throws in the towel, Healy fights on (Audio)

By Jim Vicevich / November 8, 2010 /

The title says it all and explains why I could never back Foley with any kind of passion. Foley announced today he would concede the election, even as the Republican Party told the state it would fight on for the integrity of the system. Foley wanted to be Governor and it doesn’t surprise me fighting…

Connecticut’s smoke and mirrors budget and other liberal wish lists

By Jim Vicevich / June 5, 2011 /

Just an amazing post from the Big Government site about Connecticut’s Democratic legislature and Democratic Gov. and their pursuit to prove that big government tax sucking liberalism can actually work. I was stunned reading the post to see just how liberal the state has become. Sometimes it isn’t until you see it in print that…

Luntz Focus Group in Connecticut: At least she’s created jobs

By Jim Vicevich / October 22, 2010 /

Sure doesn’t sound like a 15 point lead to me. Frank Luntz brought his focus group to Connecticut last night to get Connecticans response to the McMahon/Blumy race. Frankly, I was a little shocked.

Connecticut says no to Obamacare … yes to Blumenthal

By Jim Vicevich / March 17, 2010 /

Not surprising. Either one. But at least it tells me a little of that “ye ole yankee spirit” lives in this deep blue state. But I’m still not sure how you can rate Obama so poorly on healthcare and the economy and send another professional Democrat back to Washington.
