By the way, CT still runs a defecit. The lack of a sales tax and income tax forces this state to be effecient. This is a VERY well run state and a great place to live. If you've been here a while you might not realize what we have. For anyone that moves here from out of state and wants a broad based tax that license plate is for you!
Connecticut is TOTALLY out of control tax wise, and otherwise as well in many areas. It used to be such a nice state. I lived there in the 1960s. It sure has changed a lot (for the worse) since then!
