The Supreme Court and climate change

By SoundOffSister / April 16, 2011 /

On Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of American Electric Power v. Connecticut. It is too bad that the Court’s proceedings aren’t televised as the debate here should be lively. First, you need to know the background.

Malloy promises an ugly budget. But ugly for who?

By Jim Vicevich / March 26, 2011 /

This one hit the web after I was off the air, so I’ve had plenty of time to think about it. Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy (D) is demanding concessions from state labor, $1 billion in concessions, to help close a $3.5 billion budget gap. Unless he can tackle pensions and healthcare I’m not sure how…

Connecticut legislator proposes ex post facto law for gun magazine capacity limit

By Steve McGough / March 2, 2011 /

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 of the Constitution is clear concerning ex post facto laws, but that won’t stop the anti-gun left in Connecticut from making possession of high-capacity gun magazines – previously completely legal to buy and own – a felony unless you turn in the ones you own within 90 days.

Hey you Coupon Clippers… Look over there it’s the TAX MAN!

By TomTGRWolcott / March 1, 2011 /

As we all know Govenor Malloy is really trying his best to balance the Connecticut state budget. I completely agree that this budget needs to be repaired. We all know how our govenor would like to do it, by raising taxes and even introducing some new ones in the budget. Like going after coupon clippers? Sad, but…

My Governor does not heart NJ’s Governor

By Jim Vicevich / February 16, 2011 /

As he readies the citizens of Connecticut for his version of “shared sacrifice”, taxing middle class workers to balance a bloated state budget, Dan Malloy can’t resist taking a shot at New Jersey’s Governor who somehow managed to balance a budget in far worse shape than his own. Stay for another great Christie video.  Courage!

Connecticut Budget: Malloy starts with tax increases, where are the cuts?

By Steve McGough / February 14, 2011 /

I’m serious. I’m waiting to hear about these supposed $2 billion in cuts. Total spending by the state of Connecticut has increased from $13.4 billion in 2001 to an estimated $26.1 billion dollars in 2011. That’s almost doubling the state budget in 10 years. Connecticut did not ride the TEA Party conservative wave, and we…

CT Congressman Himes: Sure, I’d vote for another stimulus

By Jim Vicevich / September 27, 2010 /

There’s a vote grabber. Democrat Jim Himes told Dennis House on Face The State he would vote yet another stimulus if the economy began to falter. Why? Because the last one worked out so well? One more reason not to vote for any Democrat.

By Steve McGough / September 17, 2010 /

All across the United States, health insurance companies like Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut are meeting with state insurance regulators about premiums. During the past couple of weeks, Anthem proved to Connecticut state regulators an average 18 percent premium increase reflected the requirements of federal health care mandates and increased provider costs.

Former Connecticut Democrat Chairman to Obama and Pelosi: Ummm, stay home, please! Update: Where are they welcome?

By Jim Vicevich / August 29, 2010 /

The former Chairman of Connecticut’s Democrat Party can read the handwriting on the wall … even in the second most liberal state in the nation. But I’m telling you folks, when he yanks the welcome mat, it’s more than just news.
