Great! Just what the state of Connecticut needs - more revenue to misuse and abuse. The state takes in ample funds from taxes of all sorts, and there is sufficient funding, along with federal money, for road improvement. Instead, bureaucrats want to tax us again not for road improvement, but to have dollars to use for their discretionary special interest desires.

We have a senator named Dodd, who sweethearted himself into deals with mortgage lenders to buy mansions in Connecticut and Ireland, and then tried to hide the fact that he had also provided for these thieves to receive huge bonuses after they received $1 trillion from taxpayers. Dodd's type is not an anomaly, it is the standard of Connecticut politicians at this time. they are all useless and corrupt, seeking only photo images rather than what is good for the people.

We need people in all positions who have NO experience, because better to make an honest mistake than deliberate deception, a la Dodd.

In a great capitalistic society, good rises because it performs. In Connecticut nothing that comes from Hartford or its agency representatives rises, but all sinks to the bottom, because it is weighted with abuse, self-interest, and a rude attitude that deserves to be stopped now. It is time for us to walk into state agencies and be welcomed, by employees who realize we are their bosses and
