I fundamentally disagree with the liberal legislature overreach here, which I’m sure would have been struck down in the courts; however, I loved the idea of these libtard gasbags getting a dose of their own socialist medicine.
If Malloy is the adult in the room, you’re in big trouble!
No honor among lefties when it comes to money. If you’ve got a ton of it they will go after you regardless if you’re fellow travelers. They will revisit this issue again. You can bet on it.
the Democratic governor’s spokesman. “As the governor has made clear, we don’t believe that new taxes should be part of our solution as Connecticut adjusts to a new economic reality. Instead, we should make the spending reductions necessary for living within our means.”
Living within their means, What a concept. I would have figured he was a Republican if the article had not specifically noted he is a democrat.

I believe that the constitutional issue was resolved when Daniel Webster represented Dartmouth in a controversy over imposed taxes and the SCOTUS decided that Dartmouth held a royal charter from colonial times (as I believe does Yale) and is governed by the terms of that charter which are, essentially, a contract and that state and local governments are not allowed to interfere through legislative action with such contracts. I have not read the decision in decades and I welcome correction.
