State’s Budget Deficit Could Reach $5 Billion Over 2 Years
Income Tax receipts plummet adding more than one billion to two year budget shortfall.
New revenue state estimates show Connecticut’s budget deficit problems continue to worsen.
The current fiscal year is now projected to end June 30 with an approximate $394 million shortfall while the following two fiscal years are now predicted to have deficits of $2.3 billion and $2.7 billion respectively.
The estimates were released Monday by the budget offices for the General Assembly and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.

Hey Steve,
Why do you think the rest of us care? If CT goes under financially, so much the better for the few remaining conservatives who live there.

They need to keep electing Democrats including Malloy.
And when he dies, have him stuffed so they can still vote for him.
I feel so guilty feeling joy that CT has not changed in the years since leaving it’s idiocy.
A recent trip back there featured resident targeyed advertising evidence of how far that state standard of living has fallen -
Numerous Hartford capitol highway billboards promoted Pawn shop locations, Cremation $999 specials, and Jewelers that paid cash for Rolex watches.
In 1991 Gov Lowell Weicker and democrats rammed a new state income tax down citizen’s throats with the promise it would have a sunset expiration date and solve immediate budget problems.
CT is now in worse fiscal shape than ever before.
As William F Buckley said during that period,
“As a long time state resident, I’ve come to the conclusion that Connecticut is politically retarded.”

I guess that doesn’t affect Greenwich Connecticut though as I see mega million $$$$ mansions are still selling there.
