Connecticut's No Shared Sacrifice Government

 There is no shared sacrifice in Connecticut's government since Ned Lamont and his consulting group issued lock down orders in March.  None.  Do you know of any areas of Connecticut's budget that was cut?  Do you know of any elected and or appointed management or union state government official who took a wage or benefit cut?  Do you know why state employee unions received their pay increase on July 1 even though unemployment in the state was roughly 25% at that time?  And now the state unemployment fund in broke and has to borrow money from the federal government.  Do you why there was no cuts whatsoever in state spending in any state agency or department?  Do you know where your Federal tax dollars went in Connecticut's share of Cares Act monies?  Do you know how many firms that are affiliated with the Lamont Family Hedge Fund received parts of Connecticut's share of Cares Act monies? Do you know many of these same companies either received no bid emergency state contracts and or have donated directly or indirectly to the Connecticut Democrat Party?  

So why are you doing without if your state government is not doing without?  Why are you sacrificing if Ned Lamont or the Connecticut Democrat Party is not?  He along with all of our elected officials and both management/union employees are not giving up one red cent to help the state in our current economic crisis.  Ironic isn't it since Connecticut has $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities?  And we see many business owners life's work, their businesses and savings lost by the constant drumbeat of fear-doom and gloom due to the self induced chronic Covid-19 crisis and shutdown. A crisis that apparently will never end since an elite few who are politically connected can benefit from it economically apparently forever and ever since there is no and never will be questioning of where Connecticut Taxpayer's monies are being spent at this time.  

There is no shared sacrifice in Connecticut's government.  Why should there be anyways? Ned Lamont's state government is ruled by fear and executive order.   Connecticut's Taxpayers work for the benefit of our state government.  A state government void of ethics, economic responsibilities and common sense.  I again ask when will Connecticut be open again?  The silence continues to be deafening.  Especially since I can not hear anything due to my deafness when someone speaks through their Ned Lamont and his consulting group/hedge fund's mask of fear and shame.
