By Dimsdale / December 21, 2011 /

Driving home tonight, I had some thoughts on today’s announcement of the unionization of Connecticut daycare workers and personal care attendants for the disabled and senior citizens: Did all 6,200 care workers actually receive ballots?   Were they alerted about the importance and arrival of the ballots ahead of time? Did they all know that it…

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.

Minimum Wage… President Obama, where does the extra $3 come from?

By Steve McGough / March 3, 2014 /

Dannel Malloy (D) proposed increased spending almost 2 percent and 2.4 percent over the next two years. Sure, they are going to try to get state employees to…
