Finally bailed on The Nutmeg State after living most of my life there.

It's hard to believe now, but CT did not have a state income tax until 1991. The state thrived for 300 years without one, now it has one of the highest income tax rates in the country.

Oh, I know. I remember when "Republican" Lowell Weicker put that state income tax into place. I was there, and paid and paid and paid for decades.

now it has one of the highest income tax rates in the country.

...which is one of the top reasons my husband and I moved out of The People's Republik of Connecticut and relocated to South Carolina.

Of course, the “temporary” income tax that was only supposed to last from 1991 until 1993.

A Democrat has never seen a tax it didn’t like.

I was at the Capitol protesting the income tax. I campaigned for Tom Scott and the Hartford Courant had a picture of me t his election headquarters (an old Datsun dealership on the Berlin Turnpike) celebrating when Newt became speaker of the House.

What a great night.
