I dont disagree with you that schools like Yale have a lot of clout and a lot of tax free property. But the answer IS NOT to tax one of the dwindling number of resources that bring money into CT. The solution is to work with a Trump administration to bring back manufacturing jobs.
I agree but CT is in dire straights and refuses to make cuts in government. They have no where else to go and Yale has a lot of money. Manufacturing will not return to CT anytime soon and their government refuses to reform. Yale has a lot of money and it appears their employees are enthralled with socialism. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
If you are sensible enough to recognize New Haven's and Connecticut's overspending, then don't try to give them ways to increase their allowance.
