They just approved 90 million for the first step in a 600 Million dollar busway that they admit will need to be subsized 10 million a year to operate. 4700 lower wage State workers to go on unemployment becuase they can't agree that we're broke.<br />Yup...I want to be the Liberal JTHMhttp://bluestatebluez.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-51297003201934400742011-05-09T21:38:03.659-04:002011-05-09T21:38:03.659-04:00I don't envy Malloy in having to deal with thi...I don't envy Malloy in having to deal with this situation. I don't know if there IS a solution that wouldn't affect a large portion of the state negatively. <br /><br />We have a 3.3 billion dollar deficit. That's about $1000 for every person in the state.

This guy is the worst kind of Republican.

And I don't think .5% on individuals making over $50K is exactly going to break the bank. On $50,000, 1/2% is $250.
