The Connecticut Citizens Assembly Has Spoken. More Taxes Will Solve Everything! (and the band played on)

 

One hundred and forty years ago, the following words were spoken:

 

 “When more of the people’s sustenance is exacted through the form of taxation than is necessary to meet the just obligations of government and expenses of its economical administration, such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the fundamental principles of free government.” 

President Grover Cleveland Second Annual Message to Congress on December 6, 1886

Discounting the wisdom of the ages (and of minds far better than their own), we need more taxes, according to the Connecticut Citizens Assembly ("Assembly") that represents anything but Connecticut citizens. If one examines the  Assembly, one wonders if they live in the same state as Connecticut Taxpayers. Moreover, one wonders what state of mind that the members of the Connecticut Citizens Assembly inhabit, if they have any mindfulness at all?

 According to the website, "Why Does Connecticut Need a Citizens' Assembly? Connecticut's property tax system creates deep structural inequities across its 169 towns — and decades of political gridlock have prevented reform. A Citizens' Assembly is uniquely positioned to break the deadlock."   https://ct-citizens-assembly.org/about. Who decided upon this assembly-any Connecticut Taxpayers? Or in point of fact, the Assembly was likely created by liberal Connecticut Democrats that have controlled state government for years to ruin to propose solving high property taxes by raising other taxes and tolls to fix a problem that Democrats have engineered for decades.

 

 This assembly was created supposedly by lottery. As discussed on 94.9’s Lee Elci Show Power Hour on 10/26/2026 the purported lottery left out individuals like Tony De Angelo, who contacted Comptroller Sean Scanlon volunteering his service and was roundly rejected due to the Scanlon’s statement that the Assembly was a “random” group https://x.com/TonyDeAngelo7/status/2115151995606904903?a=LxJOhi9iXmZx6Cz82W4&s=20 ) . It is known by all in state that Tony has brought to light numerous fraudulent and covert actions by Governor Ned Lamont over the past six years. Could this have been a reason for his exclusion from their “complex, scientific, and random” lottery they had? Moreover, it would be impossible in the probability sense for such a “random” group to have a massive liberal skew, as such intentional bias violates about every law of statistics and probability with the objective of reaching a true outcome.

 

And the closer one gets, the worse it looks. For example, “Interim Expert Governance Committee” member, Audrey Tang is the Cyber Ambassador of Taiwan, who; "is a civic hacker and technologist who rewires systems for the public good...As digital minister, she declared broadband a human right, launched the pandemic-era “Mask Map,” and mobilized hackathons to counter disinformation and deepfakes."  https://ct-citizens-assembly.org/team. How all of this makes Ms. Tang an expert in taxation is beyond my mental reach. However "public lists containing the full names and personal identities of the 100 private citizen members have not been publicly released by the organizers', according to the CCM Initiative Hub” One would think such devoted public servants would be open and willing to engender thoughts and discussions regarding such a critical matter in their communities rather than hide in anonymity. However since the Lamont Administration has no transparency whatsoever why should this group be any different? However some of the chosen one hundred did publish their names in the final report recommending the charging of tolls and a surtax on those who earn $1,000,000 or more in the state.

In addition, the reports offer these economically damaging and poisonous recommendations.

Implement Interstate Tolls and use revenue for property tax relief, including potentially eliminating the car tax.
Q1. What problem or issue related to the property tax is this proposal seeking to address?
Connecticut municipalities rely heavily on property taxes, including the motor vehicle tax, to fund local services. This proposal seeks to reduce that burden by creating a new, dedicated revenue source that could offset property taxes and provide relief from—or potentially eliminate—the car tax.
A 2023 state analysis estimated that interstate tolls could generate approximately $950 million annually, with roughly 40% of that revenue coming from out-of-state drivers. The total projected toll revenue is comparable to the amount Connecticut municipalities collect annually through the motor vehicle property tax, demonstrating the potential scale of the revenue source. https://ct-citizens-assembly.org/report

 Thus, in a state as small as Connecticut with the amount of interstate roads it has, it can raise almost $1 billion in annual revenue from electronic tolls, with roughly $400 million of that coming from out-of-state drivers. That means Connecticut taxpayers would still have to pay the remaining $600 million. And the claim is that this will somehow lower property taxes for homeowners, even while residents are spending more than $600 million on the tolls to make it happen. Higher shipping costs would certainly be passed on to consumers as well. I have never seen more irrational and unbalanced economic logic in my life in consideration of these skewed figures.

 

What was missing in this report by the chosen one hundred of Connecticut's finest was a real dialogue about excessive spending, waste, bureaucracy, redundancy, and fraud that is seen in Connecticut's state government and in many of the municipalities of the state. What could be done about that? What can be done to clean up the horrific nonprofit fraud, redundancy, and abuse situation? Just look at the never-ending economic and social problems of Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford. These are the true Connecticut Taxpayers economic wastelands receiving massive state funding and showing no improvements in the enormous economic, educational, and social issues that they have year in and year out. Or, what did this group of one hundred anointed citizens propose about a plan to pay down and/or off the state's $100-150 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities? You can bet your last dollar this subject  was never even raised.

The secrecy kicker to this debacle comes from Democratic Comptroller Sean Scanlon, who apparently did not want the new taxes disclosed before Election Day so as not to hurt the one-party Democratic rule in the election. “The planned release from the Connecticut Citizens Assembly on Property Taxes runs counter to a recommendation from state Comptroller Sean Scanlon that the group withhold its proposals until after the election… But Scanlon said there is a downside, as well, to rolling out bold reform ideas now. ‘I just am not sure it’ll get a fair hearing’ in the final two weeks before an election, he said, adding that the home stretch of many campaigns generates heavy rhetoric, distortions, and exaggerations.” (https://ctmirror.org/2026/10/21/tax-reform-group-to-offer-plan-despite-request-to-delay-release/). What a ridiculous statement that was from Scanlon—it is apparent that this assembly’s purpose from the start was to bring tolls back with no real questions or discussion, and ram them down Connecticut taxpayers’ throats, Connecticut Democratic Party style.

What an insult this Assembly and tax increase is. to the Connecticut taxpayer.

 

Perhaps an equivalent fiscal disaster to the instant one is the dearth of ideas and boldness across the entire legislature and both gubernatorial candidates regarding proposals of a simple, flat, fair (and declining) state income tax and spending reductions that would attract new businesses and make Connecticut a competitive state, as opposed to a sinkhole state.

But, attracting capital is not Connecticut’s strong suit. Begging and scheming to get into citizens’ pockets. is more its speed.

 

President Ronald Reagan summarized government perfectly in his famous quote: “The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”  

 

For Connecticut Taxpayers this quote could be altered to fit the poorly conceived and rigged liberal think tank, pro tax, Non-Connecticut Citizens Assembly that was formed for political purposes only and about everyone wearing a government uniform.

What a sad situation this is.

Connecticut Taxpayers are damned forever by their nontransparent and non-representative assembly and state government.

Will There Ever Be Honesty And Transparency In Connecticut Government?

 When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When people fear the government, there is tyranny." -Thomas Jefferson 

Honesty: Honesty can be defined as an adherence to the facts; fairness and straightforwardness of conduct.

 Will we ever see the State of Connecticut have an honest and transparent government? Is this really possible? Over the past 8 years, the state has seen a constant trashing of openness, truths, and transparencies in Connecticut's One-Party Democrat Rule. Laws are passed at any time of the day or night, with little to no public comment. Public comment has been forbidden on critical bills, especially with certain aspects of the state budget. Legislators can break the law, legislate while impaired, drive drunk, and fear no repercussions such as being removed from office, serving jail time, and or having their assets attached for their theft and their danger to the public.  Democrat Legislators and or candidates who have lost their elections have been known to receive high paying state jobs under a no bid/application process, to increase their pension benefits/state pensions. Also, a number of print and state-run media “trusted journalists” have treated their fourth estate responsibilities to the public in such a way as to find favor forever in the comfortable bosom of the grateful monolith they were supposed to critically evaluate during their career.  It is all a beautifully convenient way for the state to buy favor and silence critical evaluation over an unsuspecting public as it uses your tax dollars to do so.

Since the state-run and paid media and the Democrat-led government do not list “Truth and Fairness” as their strong suit, concerned members of the public are left to their own devices to get to the heart of many matters. As just one example, said legitimate bodies are of no use in allowing Taxpayers wishing to  financial information about a non-profit that receives Connecticut Taxpayers monies. Serious state business that is “off the books” in an organization such as ADVANCE CT is shut down, and a citizen is forbidden from accessing this business of the state. Connecticut Democrats, along with past-bipartisan legislatures have been successful in eliminating transparency for these non-profits as per the following provisions:

A non-profit is only subject to FOIA if it is legally deemed the "functional equivalent" of a public agency. To determine this, courts and the FOIC apply a strict 4-part test established by the Connecticut Supreme Court (Board of Trustees of Woodstock Academy v. FOI Commission): 

 Government Function: Does the non-profit perform a core governmental duty?

 Level of Funding: Does it rely heavily or near-exclusively on public funding?

Government Involvement/Regulation: Does a government entity heavily regulate or direct its day-to-day operations.

 Creation by Government: Was the non-profit explicitly created or chartered by the government?

(https://cga.ct.gov/2020/rpt/pdf/2020-R-0014.pdf?t=1788652801008) 

 

Needless to say, it is impossible to determine if the four points above are met, since the nonprofit is exempt from all disclosures in the first place. Moreover, let the record reflect that no legislator of any party has championed a full repeal of this law that was constructed directly to deliberately hide state business from the public.

 All told with this type of regulation, Connecticut Taxpayers are intentionally eliminated from any understanding as to how and why their tax monies are being spent in this fashion. Moreover, there is absolutely no restriction whatsoever from any of these state-run and state-supported nonprofits to make a full disclosure of all of its books and records immediately, as  the nonprofit Board could act on its own not requiring permission. Of course, no nonprofit would ever do this as it would be the death knell for receiving any future funding from the Democrat-driven government.

 

This is all a complex layer of fraud and concealment that would make Sam Giancana blush. One good example of this rip off is the fraud and theft of the $15 million dollars given to Democrat State Senator Douglas McCrory’s “Blue Hills Civic Association” that is now lost forever. The Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission ruled that they are not subject to this Act. (https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/foi/agendas/2026/may13/2025-0357.pdf)

 

Is this honestly and transparency in government?  Why have there been no attempts to get this money back? Will Taxpayers ever be paid back? Why is no Democrat or Republican screaming that this is simply bad law and needs to be changed post-haste?

During the October 22 gubernatorial debate, we heard King Gov. Ned Lamont, the Unaccountable mention the word “Corrupticut” in pejorative terms. I found it quite ironic that the Father of Corrupticut was criticizing himself as the Gold Standard of all state corruption. With that said, I have discussed Governor Ned Lamont's profits with all of his shell games and companies through Oak HC/FT hedge fund while there is still no tax returns published, no transparency, and no demand from the Ryan Fazio campaign for the same. Again I ask why Connecticut Taxpayers seem never to get any information on  Infosys Limited, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, "ADVANCECT", Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US (CT), Mt. Sinai Genomics, "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Informatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", "4-CT", and "VillageMD ““The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey, “CT Next”, and the Tidal River Fund, “Baby Bonds” portfolio, the UCONN Foundation?  And will we ever going to able to see the Governor's tax returns from the past five years? Is this really honest government? Or has Ned and his Democrat Pals ripped off Connecticut Taxpayers for years now with no worries and will continue to do so in the future?

Connecticut still has $100,000,000,000 to $150,000,000,000 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities. Please try an FOIA on that and see what response you would get. Just ask yourself why this is the case. Who owes what and why would be a good question to have been answered in this year's election, and hitherto, this question has not been asked.

 

Like most, I viewed the spectacle of that sad debate between Ned Lamont and Ryan Fazio this past Thursday. A clean and sharp Fazio shined in comparison to the disheveled, unfocused, and physically shuffling Lamont. Regardless of whosoever wins, it is a sad reinforcement that Connecticut still has an uncompetitive income tax while other states beat us into the ground, Connecticut still has zero nonprofit disclosure, we still have bulbous and redundant nonprofit funding,

Connecticut still has the should-be-abolished Department of Economic and Community Development,  

Connecticut still has ADVANCE CT, Connecticut will never get to the bottom of what happened in the UCONN Foundation’s “Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund: and the Sema4 scandal and whatever became of your children’s genetic information will forever be banished from the face of the earth. 

 

  

Is this all satisfactory for you? Simply put, is this the type of government that you want to continue to have in the state? A dictatorship type, King of Kings ruling elite that avoids all serious questions, transparency, and no debate? Why? Ned Lamont and his incompetent political cronies should be prosecuted for their actions. They should not be rewarded by being reelected. Republicans in this state should finally turn the corner in their opposition to this oppression by the Democrats and fight back for real and genuine change, as outlined herein, once and for all. Connecticut Taxpayers deserve an honest and truthful government, and not the current sewer of lies and deceptions.

 

 This election is a last chance for the state, and you have been presented with the facts, the truth, and the lies. This is your last chance to begin to bring real change to the state. And if you do not, there really is little I, or anyone else can do to help you any further. We are now at the end, or the beginning, depending entirely as to what takes place this November.

Government Control: The Creation Of A Society Of Losers.

 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance." Psalm 33:12 

It is a beautiful country that we live in.  If you walk or drive around neighborhoods, I am sure you will see what I see.  In many areas, we see incredible economic development, economic growth, economic prosperity, and economic wealth. We see families, generation upon generation, raising children, and growing and prospering in our country. We can go to stores and/or shop online and are able to purchase literally everything we need and or can imagine making our lives easier. We see people who have had nothing at all become successful in their lives by developing a business, product, or service. What is known as a "rags to riches" story, is seen time and time again. We have seen legal immigrants come to our country with nothing and have made something for themselves and their families. I have lived that reality in my own family with legal immigrant grandparents. I also saw that in my lifetime as I was the first person to graduate college on both sides of my family and then seeing nieces, nephews, and cousins’ children follow suit. And yes, everyone has opportunities in our society, regardless of what a nattering nabob of a Democrat or Socialist loser will tell you.

We can choose to make good decisions rather than bad decisions. For example, drug dependency and abuse are choices. Crime and theft are a choice. Murder is a choice. Robbery is a choice. Losers tell us otherwise, and then vehemently defend the perpetrators and miscreants as victims.

Still, I am still in awe of our country and the world we live in. And I believe that I am not in the minority in feeling as I do. But somehow, we are continually browbeaten by Democrats and Socialists and other people that never made one non-politically connected dollar pressuring us to have a disconnect with the great economic prosperity we have in our country, fortified with groups of paid protestors who are either supposed experts in government control and/or are victims of capitalism/government/free countries/societal norms or the rule of law in our society. About all these people cannot function in private enterprise. Many of these paid protestors have been financed by George Soros, whose estimated net worth is $8.6 billion dollars. Do you see any irony in this? Many do. Or how about Communist/Socialist US Senator Bernie Sanders condemning America at all costs but has a net worth of $2.5 million dollars. In addition, let us not forget Democrat Connecticut Governor King Ned Lamont ("The Unaccountable”) whose combined net worth with his wife's hedge fund is well over $10 billion dollars or more (since it is a secret) and not forget his iron rule that has helped to destroy Connecticut businesses and industries with high taxes, short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities of $100 to $150 billion dollars and choking laws and policies. Do you not see him making fun of Republicans and Republican candidates running for office? Do you not see injustice and irony in this? Cannot be. The Unaccountable cares for all, and is showing his care by remaining in office eight years past his obsolescence date.

Fundamental to those wanting to separate you from the good that life and the world of America has to offer you is their posturing that you cannot possibly live your life without their care and concern for you, and you are in turn damned by them if you believe in the American Dream, free enterprise, life, freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and otherwise would like to see these people out of your life and work. Unaccountable Lamont created a $500 million emergency contingency/relief fund in November 2025 in collaboration with the Connecticut General Assembly to purportedly offset federal cuts to human services, health care, housing, and food assistance programs, with funding all paid by greater deficits and your tax dollars.

(https://portal.ct.gov/governor/news/press-releases/2026/02-2026/governor-lamont-signs-declaration-enabling-connecticut-to-continue-responding-to-federal-cuts?language=en_US)

Apparently, it is much more important for the governor to maintain a perpetual welfare state rather than ascertain why there are no jobs and industries coming to Connecticut or ascertain why so many residents are skill-less and unable to attain gainful employment. And freedom? State Senator Martha (“Scissorhands”) Marx stated during a debate on October 14 with challenger Lee Elci that she equated freedom to “absolute chaos”, where people are allowed to do “whatever they want”  https://www.facebook.com/reel/1822876562279837. Actually, to be clear, one cannot attain full freedom until they are rid of the likes of those like Lamont, Sanders, and Marx.

 

 

 O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea! 

We are fast approaching election day where we will once again see that red states will be able to count votes quickly and efficiently, while Blue states will be tied up for weeks on end trying to get the result that the politically connected in those states desire. And we will continue to see more people flee Blue states as they crumble into economic and social morass due to failed Communist and Socialist policies that serve an elite few who control their government. Even so, I do not see many people from our country setting out on a boat to flee to Cuba, China, or Russia? Am I missing them? Nor have I heard in this election from Democrat Party candidates their plan on anything other than to condemn America in every breath. I hear of no solutions other than failed Socialist policies that have not worked in thousands of years. Why are they popular now? Brainwashing by a complacent state run media and incompetent/failed Democrat Party platforms? Why would anyone want to vote for a Democrat candidate at any level of government with their botched incoherent rhetoric? 

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14    Voters need to see what we really have in our country. And voters need to realize how critical their vote is against today's Democrat Party with their forces of deceptions, duplicity, evils, and fraud that they represent in 2026.

Please "Vote Red" because your life does depend upon it.  And for those who hate America and are enjoying its blessings please "love it or leave it", once and for all.

 In the words of the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, America is a country for those that love it, and not a country for those that hate it.

Can Connecticut State Government Ever Recover What It Has Squandered From Its Citizens?

Can Connecticut State Government Ever Recover what it Has Squandered From Its Citizens? This is a serious question that is never answered by anyone in government, regardless of political affiliation. The issue of the day is a Republican proposal to suspend of one of Connecticut's taxes on gasoline that costs 25 cents per gallon during a time when fuel costs are elevated. Ruling Commander Democrat Governor Ned Lamont is possibly (maybe-might) willing to call a special session before the election if the Republicans can come up with the $128 million dollars in savings to offset the loss of tax revenue from not collecting this tax.

Lamont’s response is laughable and comical. Let us examine some areas where savings can take place in the exorbitant $28 billion dollar state budget that could save Connecticut taxpayers a great deal of money for the rest of this year and next.

First, how about the paying back of over $15 million dollars from Democrat State Senator Douglas McCrory’s pilfering in the mishandling of money with the Blue Hills Civic Association? The mighty Great Administrative State of Connecticut, the Office of The Attorney General, and the Militant Department of Revenue Services all have the power to lien, levy and seize the assets of McCrory and his co-participants of this larceny to make the people whole. Is any of that happening? Have any politicians demanded this? It is known that several Republican candidates have, but the staid establishment is cowardly silent on this issue.

Second, how about the elimination of "media-messaging- verification" bills that cost Connecticut Taxpayers $72 million dollars a year starting in 2020? This is money laundered out to elicit state run media for glowing articles and stories on the great things that the Connecticut Democrat Party does in the state. 

Third, how about the elimination and abolishment of Connecticut's Department of Community and Economic Development? Since it is difficult to ascertain the amount of money that they spend, squandered, lent out and have written off completely in non-paid loans/grants, an assumption of $100 million dollars could be saved. With the money they have been spending over the years one wonders why Connecticut still ranks in the bottom five states in the country for business development, business growth, and economic growth? But I shortchange myself. The pizzazz-filled and substance-lacking “Quantum CT” effort in New Haven is taking $121 million dollars for the sake of gambling on science projects for the elite, with no benefit whatsoever for taxpayers. My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo did a brilliant job of explaining that on the October 8, 2026, edition of THIRTY WITH TONY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAVg4MNPnag&t=3641s The total silence on this obvious casino gaming with tax dollars and the abolishment of the Department of Economic and Community Development resonates and radiates across both sides of the aisle.

Fourth, how much (and when) will be paid back in School Construction Grants by the recently convicted new resident of Greece, Kosta Diamantis? One can estimate conservatively $10 to 20 million dollars between bribes and cost overruns can be recovered there if one will only work to find out where it ended up.

Fifth. How about Robert Cappelletti, the former executive director of housing authorities in both Meriden and Groton? Will the $16 million dollars in fraud he allegedly committed in his schemes ever be paid back? Again, the mighty Great Administrative State of Connecticut, the Office of The Attorney General, and the militant Department of Revenue Services all have the power to lien, levy and seize the assets of Cappelletti and any co-participants of this larceny in order to make the people whole. Is any of that happening? Have any politicians at all demanded this?

Sixth, how much does Medicare fraud cost the state? $1.3 million dollars of alleged fraud was committed by Jacqueline Pelphrey, formerly of Manchester, who owned and operated “Women’s Health Resources Inc.”, d/b/a “Essentials for the Special Woman”, in Vernon. Will this be paid back? Or. Habroon Habib from Middletown, who pleaded guilty to operating an unlawful money-transmitting business and submitting $1.9 million dollars in fraudulent Medicare Advantage claims for unrequested durable medical equipment routed through Pakistan? Will this be paid back?

 Seventh, there is always how much did Connecticut Taxpayers subsidize Governor Ned Lamont's family Oak HC/FT hedge fund over the past eight years? Connecticut Taxpayers seem never to get any information on  Infosys Limited, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, "ADVANCECT", Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US (CT), Mt. Sinai Genomics, "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Informatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", "4-CT", and "VillageMD ““The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey, “CT Next”, and the Tidal River Fund, “Baby Bonds” portfolio, the UCONN Foundation?  Or are they able to see the Governor's tax returns from the past five years? Thus, one may assume that since had made over $50 million dollars several ago from investments, he may now be looking at profits of $250 to $350 million dollars. How much was taken from Connecticut Taxpayers a secret, or is it? How much was funneled to the secret Cayman Islands? It will depend how much credibility you give to Kosta Diamantis and his email to his lawyer.

Not counting Lamont's failure to disclose cash profits, I have examined well over $330 million dollars in savings in these limited areas. The Democrat Party, as the cause of most of these rip-offs, then blames the Republican Party for wanting to suspend the gas tax for a few months because the state will lose $128 million dollars in tax revenue! Do you see great irony in this? Many do. The corrupt Connecticut Democrat Party is in full force for this election. Corruption, deception, and fraud do not seem to bother them at all.

Doesn't it bother you, the Connecticut Taxpayer? If it does why bother voting for them ever again?

Do You Wonder If Connecticut Is A Part Of America Anymore?

 “We're strong because we still believe in a bedrock principle: We are a government of, by, and for the people, not the other way around. And we're strong because we know that true greatness begins with the deepest treasures of the human spirit, with faith and courage, with loyalty and love, with a quiet, unselfish devotion to our families, our neighbors, and our nation.” President Ronald Reagan August 19, 1984, the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia

 "Many of these aliens unlawfully within the United States present significant threats to national security and public safety, committing vile and heinous acts against innocent Americans. Others are engaged in hostile activities, including espionage, economic espionage, and preparations for terror-related activities. Many have abused the generosity of the American people, and their presence in the United States has cost taxpayers billions of dollars at the Federal, State, and local levels.

Enforcing our Nation’s immigration laws is critically important to the national security and public safety of the United States. The American people deserve a Federal Government that puts their interests first and a Government that understands its sacred obligation to prioritize the safety, security, and financial and economic well-being of Americans." President Trump The White House January 20, 2025

 

If you have lived in the once-proud and fiscally-sound state of Connecticut, do you feel that you have surrendered your rights as an American citizen, and that your biggest enemies to those rights are the Great Connecticut Administrative State and the Democrat-controlled government?

 

 As a for-instance, have you been a victim of crime of any sort? Do you feel safe, especially if you live in a major city in Connecticut? Do you feel safe filling up your gas tank at 10 o'clock at night on the way home from your second job? Do you question why some criminals in Connecticut have numerous outstanding warrants and keep committing crimes while no one in state government cares about that? Do you also question why Connecticut Taxpayers are supporting those in the state who are here illegally? Do you wonder why the serially incompetent Secretary Of The State Stephanie Thomas consistently evades (or dodges) any efforts to prove and verify voter integrity? Do you ever wonder if her evasiveness is due to the protection of illegal voters on the voter rolls? Do you feel like you are in fear of crime, theft and murder in your everyday work and tasks?

Let us move along: Do you feel your cost of living is too high in Connecticut? Are you working several jobs to make ends meet? Do you feel you are getting very little to nothing in return for the obscene amount of money you pay in taxes on a local and state level to support governmental incompetence and redundancy in many cases? Do you feel you are getting ripped off by your government. especially in seeing the sheer volume of crimes that Democrat Party and other elected officials and “public servants” have committed with your tax monies?  Do you wonder why there are never any answers about the runaway short and long term multi-billion-dollar debt along with unfunded liabilities of Connecticut's bloated governmental bureaucracy? Do you wonder why the Governor refuses to release his tax returns, but you must jump through hoops if you are a victim of a tax audit or any other pursuit by the lovely Connecticut administrative state?

Do you feel that your children are getting a good education that is unbiased and strong on skills essential to living a productive life? Do you feel it is wrong that your schools in some cases are exposing your children to perverted sexual activities along with sex change options? Do you feel that you are being treated and looked down upon as a criminal if you are choosing homeschooling for your children? Do you worry that your child will be a victim of crime and or criminal activity as has become the norm in many of Connecticut's inner cities and towns? Do you wonder why the Connecticut Democrat Party places such a low value on human life with their promotion of policies on freedom for criminals, veneration of illegal aliens. full term abortion, encouragement of sex changes at a young age, and assisted suicide?

Do you feel something is radically wrong in Connecticut and that the stench of decay is being emitted from the Connecticut Democrat Party? Do you see something wrong with Democrat Senator Chris Murphy fund raising out of Connecticut for a noted America-hating Communist/Socialist Democrat? Do you see something wrong with Attorney General Tong's daily diatribes against the Republican President of the United States, disregard for Federal laws and his outright condemnation of those Connecticut Taxpayers who have the audacity to support President Trump? Do you feel this quote by Tong should disqualify him from office; "“I think it's high time every single Republican candidate tells us in this state where you stand. Do you stand with Donald Trump, or do you stand with us? Because how can you support this president when he has tried to take all federal funding away from Connecticut? If you stand with him now, you're disqualified from serving in office in this state,” (https://lawenforcementtoday.com/connecticut-ag-william-tong-trump-republicans)? Do you wonder why every single Republican candidate has not signed a statement demanding the removal of Tong for boldly espousing such a totalitarian and un-American concept of dictating what one should believe in? Many may wonder, but they are ostensibly bullied by the enforcers of the omnipotent Connecticut Democrat Party.

Do you feel it is wrong that Governor Ned Lamont  continues his silence on Infosys Limited, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, "ADVANCECT", Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US (CT), Mt. Sinai Genomics, "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Informatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", "4-CT", and "VillageMD ““The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey, “CT Next”, and the Tidal River Fund, “Baby Bonds” portfolio, the UCONN Foundation?  Of course, there is no need to answer to the Taxpayer slaves supporting his family's hedge fund.

 

In addition, did you ever wonder why Annie Lamont, spouse of Ned The Unaccountable, is inexplicably intertwined in the affairs of state government? Did you ever wonder why they both routinely communicate on governmental matters using a private family-office server and some communications have been published? Did you ever wonder why the stalwarts of the state-run print media saw these communications and did not immediately call for an investigation or attention to them? Did you ever wonder why it was my colleague Tony De Angelo that called attention to this abuse of process months later as an entire Republican party remained silent? Do you ever wonder how much money Annie Lamont made for her Hedge Fund through state business with Sema4 and UNITE US? Do you ever wonder how much was made on the Sema4 IPO? Do you wonder why fugitive and former state official Kosta Diamantis raised these exact same points about Annie Lamont while Republicans and candidates stay silent on them to this day? (In this case, you are not alone, as we all wonder as well).

 

From all the Connecticut Democrat Party's lies, failures, non-transparency, deceptions, and abuses of power, do you not think something is wrong? From their lack of representing Taxpayers who disagree with them and their failed social and economic policies-do you wonder how they could be "representing" anyone, in Connecticut? How much more evidence do you need as a voter?

Connecticut should be a state where economic prosperity, safety of its legal citizens and a rule of law are the norm and Job #1. Connecticut needs to stop being a state of constant hatred, lawlessness, self-enrichment, incompetence, and turmoil. This is the election to change it once and for all. The Connecticut Democrat Party has failed both you the Taxpayer and all law-abiding citizens. Democrats have raped the state beyond recognition for the past 35 years. End this madness in November once and for all.

 

At What Point?

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and in particular, the Connecticut Democrat Party?

 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and in particular, a complete lack of transparency and accountability in state government and a reluctance for any sort of effective change?

 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and in particular, the massive amount of crime and theft that occurs on a daily basis?

 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and in particular, its lies, deceptions, and fraud? 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut and in particular, paying taxes to support what is a massively corrupted state government? 

 

 

At what point, does the Connecticut Taxpayer call it quits with Connecticut, and with a minority party that always tries to be “acceptable” by the majority and state-run media, as opposed to one championing sound Republican and economic principles that are bearing great fruit in other states?

 

Connecticut state government has a large credibility problem. As much as current Democrat Governor Ned Lamont is trying to somehow hoist the blame on Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Ryan Fazio and President Trump for all the ills of Connecticut, Lamont's confusion is a superb example of his party's failures. I will remind all again that Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party has raised taxes consistently since his first term in office. Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party have been involved in numerous scandals including, (but not limited to), ballot fraud, fundraising fraud, non-profit fraud, lawmaking while drunk and driving while drunk crimes, larceny from tax-exempt organizations, sexual harassment, and contract fraud.

Readers well know the usual unanswered questions from Ned Lamont as to where his footsteps (and those of his spouse Annie Lamont) have taken them, but they bear repeating: Infosys Limited, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, "ADVANCECT", Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US (CT), Mt. Sinai Genomics, "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Informatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", "4-CT", and "VillageMD ““The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey, “CT Next”, and the Tidal River Fund, “Baby Bonds” portfolio, the UCONN Foundation,-never an answer to his family's Hedge fund involvement in each.  This query would be an excellent question at the upcoming Governor's debate, but we know it will never be asked, as Republicans in Connecticut just don’t do things like that.

What about a Connecticut Taxpayer timeline for repayment from Democratic State Senator Douglas McCrory for his payoffs in the Blue Hills Civic Association debacle? I guess $15,000,000 is lost for good once again for Connecticut Taxpayers.

 

How about “People’s Champion” State Senator Martha Marx be forced to give account for her admitted act of vandalism in cutting the electric wires under her legislative seat in 2024? How about the state demanding repayment for the over $15,000 damage she caused? How about the Capitol Police showing courage for once and turning over the police report for this act of vandalism instead of playing “hide the ball” with it? How about Republicans calling for her accountability and arrest for this act as we still are within the criminal Statute of Limitations for this action? Great question. But we know it will never be asked, as Republicans in Connecticut just don’t do things like that.

 

How about a Democratic state senator being offered a seat on PURA in exchange to support Chairwoman Marissa Gillett’s reappointment. No big deal here, as Connecticut seems to a proving ground for the inept and incompetent.

Let us not forget the constant Bridgeport Democrat Party ballot fraud and the never-ending scam that it creates for "honest" elections. These "honest" elections are a focal point for incredible, ninth-inning-rally election victories for Connecticut Democrat Party candidates. 

 How about fixing the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system, which is a free for all of deception and corruption? Just look at Chancellor Terrence Cheng who resigned following an investigation into questionable spending only to get some incoherent consulting contract. In addition, his interim successor, John Maduko, resigning over a sexual harassment complaint. Why are Connecticut's college students putting up with this corruption? Why aren’t sound fiscally responsible Republicans calling for a consolidation of the State Colleges and Universities under one administrative umbrella (as opposed to four?) But we know this will never be asked, as Republicans in Connecticut just don’t do things like that.

 

In education, don't forget the “essential,” no bid contract of $250,000 for Democrat Party hack, Miguel Cardona and his new report that says essentially that nothing to improve Connecticut's failing educational system. This would certainly stand to reason, for if Miguel Cardona turned in a report saying the system needed improvement, the first action item for said improvement, would be the removal of Miguel Cardona.

Last but least we have the “Greek Tragedy” drama of Kosta Diamantis, a man that apparently no one wants to believe as being the least bit truthful in his detailed descriptions of the corrupted Lamont administration. My colleague Tony De Angelo talked about this at length on this past week's “Power Hour” on the 94.9 FM “Lee Elci Show” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjuJjy_qKHQ&t=72s.

The never-ending saga of the Connecticut Democrat driven Connecticut cesspool never ceases to amaze those who toil in Connecticut and are forced to pay their taxes to support all of this corruption and deception.  Connecticut still has $100,000,000,000 to $150,000,000,000 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities and is adding to those debts daily without any revenue generation or plans for repayment https://hartfordbusiness.com/article/dodd-stadium-revamp-tops-66-4m-in-state-community-investment-fund-awards/  .  My readers know I have spoken about this for years. My best guess estimate is that 30% of this debt has been caused by all types of fraud. This fraud includes interest free (or 2% interest) loans to failed or nonexistent businesses, loans that are never paid back by these same failed or nonexistent businesses, overcharging by contractors in order to secure contracts that include paybacks to state officials, excessive padded state employee overtime payments that are also included in pension obligations,  state created jobs for former state politicians and the politically connected, along with the costs of illegal aliens in the state, among other things.  

Thus, this is the real situation in Connecticut and the real record that Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party are running on. Lies, deception and fraud. Connecticut Taxpayers and voters are sick of it and have had enough. Change cannot come soon enough for this failed state of disrepair.

 

The Connecticut Democrat Party candidate does not deserve your vote at any level of government, federal, state, or local in this election. It is truly time for a real change in all facets of government, politics, and political party practices and methods in 2026. This, is indeed that point of inflection.

Connecticut: Its Not For Citizens Anymore

 It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

President Abraham Lincoln

The Gettysburg Address

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
November 19, 1863

The great writings and the leadings of America’s founding fathers were unequivocally clear in that our government was to be governed by its people, or in effect, ruled by its people via its choice of elected officials. But to be clear, America-hating Connecticut has caused that design of government to perish and is now ruled not by elected officials, but by a coalition of Communists, Socialists, lobbyists, funders, fringe parts of the Democrat Socialists of America, a state run media, hedge funds and elected officials/political cronies/activists such as Ned Lamont, Chris Murphy, Richard Blumenthal, Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes, Sean Scanlon, Stephanie Thomas, Erick Russell and William Tong, just to name a few. Connecticut is in a laughable and pathetic state which is due to this coalition of fanatics and psychopaths who claim to represent both illegal and legal citizens of Connecticut.

Connecticut Communist Socialist Democrat Czar-Tyrant-Supreme Ruler Attorney General William Tong is a case study in why he is unfit to serve and should be voted out of office. For if you disagree with him, especially if you endorse President Trump and his policies, you obviously are skating on thin ice with ruling Connecticut Democrat Party Politburo. A gentle criticism was levied from Republican Candidate for Attorney General, John Bolton    Last Thursday, Connecticut’s Attorney General – allegedly “the People’s Lawyer”– stood at a podium and told the people of Connecticut that if they stand with the President, they are — his words — “disqualified from serving in office.” He said it twice, and it was directed at all Republicans. Let every voter, of every party, hear that clearly: the state’s top law enforcement officer just declared that Americans are unfit to serve their neighbors simply because he may not agree with their politics. I'm John Bolton, and I'm running for Attorney General because Connecticut deserves an Attorney General who represents all of its people, regardless of their political beliefs. (https://x.com/jb4ag26/status/2100368430150938927)  A more directed and pointed commentary on this foul event was delivered by my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo who asked, point blank, if state Republicans are controlled by the state Democrat party in order to let such a display pass without criticism and anger by Republicans. https://x.com/TonyDeAngelo7/status/2098755883396174120 . However, the fundamental issue remains. The citizens of Connecticut do not rule Connecticut in any way, shape, or form.

 

 Meanwhile, we turn back to the rambling dictates of Attorney General Tong: “Connecticut is under attack every single day, and we need to build an even stronger firewall to protect Connecticut families,” the 53-year-old Democrat declared during a conversation Thursday on WNHH FM’s “Dateline New Haven.” “I’ve been doing that for eight years, and have stood up to the most powerful forces, the biggest, most powerful corporate monopolies, the president of the United States. “I don’t care how big or bad you are. If you hurt Connecticut, I’m going to fight back.”  (https://www.newhavenindependent.org/2026/09/04/tong-vows-to-keep-fighting-trump/"

Many normal and legal Connecticut Taxpayers are both irate and livid about the daily exhibit of Tong's serious Trump Derangement Syndrome. Are we supposed to laugh him off or seek legal action against this Democrat bully? Are we supposed to petition for his psychiatric admission? One truly wonders. It is my opinion that Republican John Bolton represents a breath of fresh air for the office and that would be a much better solution than any of the above.

But Hey! When you are sitting at the top of the world, the rest of the world can roll along down a cliff. And there is one at the top of the world topping off the family coffers like the top guy. Governor Ned Lamont has been busy for eight years now bringing home the bacon for the Lamont family of hidden business, business deals and other assorted secret, non-transparent arrangements for the Oak HC hedge fund. Lamont does not answer questions on how much did his family's hedge fund profited from Infosys Limited, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, "ADVANCECT", Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US (CT), Mt. Sinai Genomics, "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Informatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", "4-CT", and "VillageMD ““The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey, “CT Next”, and the Tidal River Fund, “Baby Bonds” portfolio, the UCONN Foundation, to name a few.  But hey that is old news. Now Lamont, in his latest campaign is hammering Republican Candidate for Governor Ryan Fazio for many of the horrific state ills that Lamont and his Democrat Party created. That is exceptionally brazen coming for the corrupted Lamont syndicate and his Democrat cronies. Mysteriously, Fazio, and his campaign has been silent on the attack front concerning the King’s corruption, racketeering, and malfeasance and one can let their mind run wild as to how and why this is the case.

But I may be misguided. For after all, Lamont "found" $50,000,000 to save rural Connecticut hospitals that somehow is the evil president Trump money-the President Trump William Tong despises but apparently loves when it can buy votes for Connecticut's Socialists.  My good friend Tony De Angelo on X exposed this latest Democrat fraud and covered it on his THIRTY WITH TONY video show; In the category of the @ryanfazio campaign and the @CTGOPneed to wake up, please see the below. Tomorrow, Sept. 16 @GovNedLamontwill come to Putnam to tell us all about the Rural Health Grants HE brought to all of us. The grants come from Connecticut’s share of the federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), a $50 billion, five-year initiative ($10 billion per year, 2026–2030) created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA / H.R. 1 / Public Law 119-21), signed in July 2025.) In simple English, the grants come from@POTUS

Trump Money. TRUMP Money. (In simpler English, the grants are being used against Republicans) You see that? Wake up, people. It gets late early out there. (https://x.com/TonyDeAngelo7/status/2100029082616373369).

You just cannot make this stuff up.

From top to bottom Connecticut's Democrats are a bunch of incompetent, incoherent, and scandalous political tools. Contrary to their lies that are amplified by either weak (or non-existent) opposition, Connecticut, still has $100,000,000,000 to $150,000,000,000 billion dollars in short- and long-term debt along with unfunded liabilities. It has moved billions over dollars off budget over the years and hidden that from public view and comment. It has also established a multi-layered complex grift with state-funded non-profits that are completely exempt from Freedom of Information and real-time monitoring, with no legislative desire anywhere to change that. Politicians run and hide at the apropos demand for a citizen DOGE. There is no transparency and little truth being spoken in Hartford. Legal and disconnected Connecticut Taxpayers and voters are not pleased with their current Democrat One Party Rule in Hartford, despite biased election polls reflecting how poorly the Republican candidates are doing via a state-paid: poll effort to discourage voters. Voters are begging for some real leadership not incessant gibberish of their hatred of all things Republican and President Trump, for regardless of how the state Republican Party may feel, 44% of the state voted for him in 2024. Is it a wonder? Not at all. The unending and relentless criticisms of Democrats while offering no solutions, coupled with their unyielding support of illegal aliens is truly a spectacle of failed leadership and a violation of both the state and federal constitution.

Usually, it takes time to right bad situations. Things do not improve overnight. There are much better candidates that Connecticut Voters can vote for in November than these Socialist crybabies of hatred. Vote for them, and for for the last time, start Connecticut on a path of changing its awful direction where change is so critically needed.
