Thanks. My Mom (who I was helping support and taking care of) passed in January and that's why I've had to stay. Now, that I'm free to go, there is NOTHING that would keep me here.

Have seen this state (as is the case with many others) go from a fairly conservative one (when I was growing up here in the 50's) to an extremely, liberal (bordering on socialistic) one--mostly due to the influx of "flat landers" (led by--and influenced considerably with his advent into politics--Bernie Sanders) in the 70's and 80's.

Of interest, with your remark about Ct., (where I was born, by the way) is in looking at the chart, New England States (Ct., Mass., and Vt) make up 1/3 of the top 10 most heavily taxed states.

If you take the top 16, then 5 of the 6 New England States (excluding only N.H.) are in the mix!!

The day I retire I am leaving Connecticut and moving to West Texas.

I hope thousands of baby boomers join us and send the CT economy into a permanent and fatal tailspin.

I also hope that all the Texas congresscritters will make sure and vote "no" when bankrupt CT tries to get federal aid to bail them out of years of stupidity.
