Yet Another Bad Week For Connecticut Taxpayers

It was yet another bad week for Connecticut Taxpayers.
It seems like every week is another bad week for Connecticut Taxpayers.
This week we learn that the state paid a Connecticut Democrat Party donor a mere $5.5 million dollars for his property in 2018 only to sell it for $1.7 million dollars recently.  Connecticut Taxpayers must lose $3.8 million dollars in this unethical deal.  The silence is deafening by the Omnipotent Connecticut Democrat Party on this transaction.
Connecticut Taxpayers are no closer to finding out where the supposed $500 million dollars in savings is supposed to coming from to help balance the already unbalanced state budget.  When are going to get this information?
Connecticut Taxpayers are being force fed daily the greatness of tolls.  Even though we find out this week by the Yankee Institute that the Special Transportation fund has been raided numerous times for hundreds of millions of dollars by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Money that in my opinion would more than offset the supposed need for tolls in the state.  If Governor Lamont and his "experts" became much more efficient in their spending of Connecticut Taxpayers monies there would be much more cash to fix our roads and bridges.  However all the Connecticut Democrat Party knows how to do is to tax more new items and services and to increase taxes.
Connecticut Taxpayers now get to pay sales tax on parking in municipal parking lots.  Even though these lots are maintained by Connecticut Taxpayers and local taxpayers.
Connecticut Taxpayers continue to see a massive outflow of taxpayers in the state thus lowering tax revenues.  The facts of this constant net migration of population out of the state seems to be constantly ignored by the Connecticut Democrat Party.
Connecticut Taxpayers continue to be searching for the reasons why Connecticut's state government acts in an economically irrational manner.  Connecticut Taxpayers continue to be searching for the reasons why Connecticut's state government acts in an unethical manner.   Connecticut Taxpayers continue to be searching for the reasons why Connecticut's state government responds to its ruling political elite only. And Connecticut Taxpayers continue to be searching for the reasons why Connecticut's state government acts in a way that shows total disrespect for them on a daily basis.
The battle lines are drawn for the upcoming election in November in a state spiraling out of control economically.  I just wonder how many more bad weeks in a row can Connecticut Taxpayers survive.
