And that buffoon Berlin High School Football coach has such a big ego demanding over the last two years that we will have tolls. He barely won re-election and is still going about his way. He didn't learn his lesson. I hope the next time voters get smart. But then again, he was re-elected and Lamont is governor who already broke his promises. We have Blumenthal and Murphy as senators. Honestly, this state deserves what it is getting.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe end. Lamont pushed the state way further into the downward spiral it has been in for so long. I laugh every time he says something to the effect of we need to move forward and jumpstart our economy .... by taxing the heck out of everyone and taking away the little disposable income that most had? By keeping people off of our highways? How do you jumpstart something by making it far more expensive to live here. All of the lower classes are ecstatic and the dems just solidified their vote for the next several elections ... they got even more stuff for free and the mega busline from new britain to hartford wont even cost them any more in toll money!! This place is a joke. FMLA is an additional 0.5% to the income tax even though it technically isn't income tax as he frequently points out that he did not raise the income or sales taxes .... just every other tax and many new ones!! What a tool!
It won't be long before some of our cities will look like San Francisco, and we will have our own website to help navigate the human waste on the streets.

I heard Lamont is a CFC fan and some of the funds for tolls will go to the lights at CFC park. Can anyone verify that for me?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMy alternative? Absolutely no tolls or tax increases. 10% cuts to the budget of every state agency across the board phased in 2-2.5% per year for the next 4-8 years and trim additional fat from departments where I can. Pension system will be honored for anyone with at least 10 years of service but starting next year, any contracts for all state workers will move retirement funding from pensions to 401ks with some matching by state to be paid in at the end of the fiscal year every year (no pushing more crap down stream for future generations). Minimum wage stays where it is or has nominal cost of living adjustments year to year only and no additions to FMLA. If things stabilize in 4 years and I get re-elected, I would begin to phase out state income tax by 0.5-.75% per year until it is gone too. Then I would hope to reduce gas and sales taxes and make this place a great place to live again. The increased reductions in spending to cause budget surpluses to pay down debt and sock away some money would make the state more attractive for people from other states as well as businesses, not to mention help to stem the flight of middle- and upper middle class families from the state. Make FC a great place to live again for wealthy NYC workers and hope to bring some of those firms to the state as well. How is that?
He is programmed to tax and spend and the public sector unions won’t give up anything
State is a dumpster fire

Lamont
Since you guys insist on posting about politics on a soccer board, I'll give you the inside tips.
Soccer coaches will have to now pay into their state funded retirement plans. 1.5 percent this year, 2 next year.All soccer equipment will now be taxed a a rate of 12.6 percent. Clubs will now be charged a 4 percent surcharge and all coaches will need to have a State of CT Coaching license, renewed every 4 yrs at DMV for a cost of $36.
GO START A POLITICAL BOARD AND POST THERE!!!!!
