October 29, 2018 My wife and I moved to Connecticut thirty years ago. The economy was booming and businesses were hiring. We loved living in Fairfield. Our two daughters received excellent educations in the public schools. My friends, my neighbors, my wife and I looked forward to having our children settle in Connecticut as we became grandparents. But it didn’t happen. Our children are gone. To visit our grandchildren, we sit in New York and Boston traffic. We wait at LaGuardia and Kennedy to catch flights to Florida, California and Colorado. How did this happen? How did a state that led the country in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth from 1976 until 1991 end up with the third worse business climate in the country? How did we actually lose population in the past several years? Why did General Electric, Aetna and multiple small businesses leave for greener pastures? And why don’t our children want to live here? The answer is that an incompetent political class has used the hard-working Connecticut … [Read more...]
Kavanaugh’s Confirmation – A Seismic Shift in Political Power
October 7, 2018 The ugly battle is over. By a slim margin and largely along Party lines, Brett Kavanaugh has replaced the moderate Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, theoretically solidifying a 5-4 conservative majority. Here are the salient points from this landmark battle. The Rule of Law will replace The Rule of Man. For the past decades, controversial public policy decisions were imposed on the electorate by power hungry judges who preferred to make up the law rather than to interpret it. By judicial fiat, our Supreme Court removed God from public schools, allowed pornography to proliferate, legalized abortion and gay marriage and forced taxpayers to pay for the education and health care of illegal immigrants. Reasonable people can disagree on these issues, but the Supreme Court removed the right of the American people to govern themselves. Had Hillary Clinton won the election, she would have appointed judges who overturned the Second Amendment, made illegal aliens citizens, gerrymandered districts to the Democrat’s advantage and discarded the Electoral College. Now liberals will … [Read more...]
Joe Markley for Lieutenant Governor
August 9, 2018 The gubernatorial Republican nominee will need a strong partner if he is to win the Governor’s mansion and turn the state around. That candidate is Joe Markley. Many voters are unaware of the importance of this position and few can name our present Lieutenant Governor (LG), Democrat Nancy Wyman. But if the State Senate is deadlocked, the LG casts the tie-breaker. Thus, Nancy Wyman cast the crucial vote to kick the can down the road in pension reform early in 2017 and seven months later, the tie-breaking vote that extended public union contracts until 2027 while rendering it illegal to lay off state workers for four years – thus setting up Connecticut residents for huge tax increases and confiscatory tolls in the future. Furthermore, it was Lowell Weicker’s LG, Eunice Groark, who cast the tie-breaker that imposed the odious state income tax. Markley, a conservative stalwart, has the rare ability to disagree without being disagreeable. With his wire-framed glasses and goatee, one could easily mistake him for a liberal college … [Read more...]
