Open to the General Assembly: Is this the "change" you had "hoped" for?

Open letter to the General Assembly

Dear members of the General Assembly,

Well, it's happened again. No, you haven't wasted a perfectly good hour listening to Car Talk, another retiree, a client of mine, is moving out of state. Before I left for a short vacation, I talked to her about a new deck; a nine thousand dollar deck.

Not only is the state losing tax revenue, but every business these people would have patronized is losing money, too. The money from that job alone, would have paid my basic expenses for a month!

Now, she tells me they have decided to sell the house and move because, "I just cannot see us being able to retire in any kind of comfort here."

This is the result of over burdensome taxes and regulations. Companies like PTR are taking their businesses and JOBS elsewhere and retirees like my client are taking their pensions and leaving the state in droves. This is a direct result of policies coming out of Hartford.

Is this the "change" you had "hoped" for?

Bill Boylan, Middletown

Your Daily Spin by the Middletown Mess: An Accurate Drill

If this is to be an accurate drill, will Mayor Drew chase news crews and declare the roads are 75%, 80%, 95% clear while stranded citizen's phone City Hall?

 Anyone at the helm?

33rd District Candidate Callie Grippo Launches Site!

My name is Callie Grippo and I am here to fight for you and your family!   I am an  outspoken proponent for enhancing public safety and improving our community.

With my background in business, I never take no for an answer. Once elected, I will continue to dedicate my efforts to improving the quality of life for all residents in the 33rd District.

Connecticut Democrats have voted for the largest tax increase in Connecticut history, to fund the Hartford-New Britain bus way. These same elected officials remained silent as Governor Malloy and the Bond Commission planned to approve $300 million for renovations to the Communist Party of Connecticut headquarters (private property in New Haven) and for the forced unionization of private childcare providers and personal aides.

Like citizens, I am fed up with the spending and excessive taxation, and I believe it must stop! If elected, I will stand up to the bullies at the capital who have manipulated the system. We CAN make changes to improve the lives  Connecticut residents. There is no excuse for the continued support of the tax and spend policies currently in place that the elected Democrats continue to support time and time again. Second, we must end one party rule by electing more Republicans and putting an end to the super Democratic majority which makes compromise impossible. Once Republicans can affect votes, conservative policies can be implemented and the economy can once again grow.  One party rule isn’t working for Connecticut and I want to get Connecticut working again!
