Connecticut's 28 Year Recession

Connecticut as we know has many negative economic issues that need to be addressed.
It has high taxes, $80 to $100 billion dollars in short and long debt along with unfunded liabilities, a lack of job creation, a poor business climate, crumbling roads and bridges, a net migration of citizens moving out of state, illegal immigrants, and an unsustainable union and management state employee workforce being paid excessive salaries, benefits and pensions.
In the current Legislative session Governor Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party have offered to throw more fuel in the fire by implementing the highest set of tolls in the country, tax plastic shopping bags, soda and "junk food", increasing salaries for new politically appointed State Commissioners, licenses for cats, an increase in the minimum wage to $15 a hour, a .05% payroll tax to fund a paid 12 week family and medical leave law, more benefits for illegal immigrants, a state run health care program funded by Connecticut Taxpayers, and a one mill state wide property tax.  There are even more tax and spend proposals in the works.
What the Connecticut Democrat Party has presented to Connecticut taxpayers this session is an insult to our intelligence and shows their lack of economic logic and knowledge.  How is it possible to stimulate the state economy by raising taxes and implementing tolls by over $2 billion dollars?  It does not stimulate the economy nor help get the state out its 28 year recession.
It would have been a breath of fresh air if Governor Lamont had offered a budget that cut spending across the board for all agencies, cut all newly appointed Commissioners salaries by 10%, not giving these same new Commissioners pensions, began to start to privatize the Department of Motor Vehicles, eliminate the two to three percent automatic increase in some state pensions, just to name a few ideas.  There are many more that could have been considered.
There is hope in our State Legislature in the thirteen member Connecticut General Assembly Conservative Caucus that is now questioning these ridiculous economic bills that the Democrats want to shove down the throats of the Connecticut Taxpayer.  These brave conservative legislators are offering an alternative to the stale, failed tax and spend policies of the Connecticut Democrat Party.
It will be interesting to see what happens this session in Hartford.  It will determine again how much more sacrifice that the remaining Connecticut Taxpayers who are legal citizens of the state must give to support an omnipotent one party rule and political hierarchy that is completely out of touch with the economic reality of Connecticut. 
No tolls, no new taxes, cut spending.  It is a simplistic answer that should be the solution to Connecticut's 28 year recession.
It falls on deaf ears.
