Random text from an apolitical friend about student loan forgiveness: “Are u f*cking kidding me? I just paid off $150k in student loans this year. Can we please cut my taxes because I saved, worked hard, and am only seeing 50% of what I actually make? When do I get my check?”

Ahem...CT’s budget shortfalls will be about the same even tho FL’s economy is 4x bigger! And FL has 0 income tax, while CT has the 2nd-highest taxes & highest debt burden in the US. No surprise, FL’s economy grew 2.5x as fast 2010-19 as CT’s. CT can do better. Time for a change.

CT has the 6th lowest rate of economic growth since the pandemic began. All 5 states with lower growth are smaller than CT and energy producers or islands...We can do much, much better.

Working class and middle class families are hurting in CT this Labor Day, and have been for many years, due to the failures of the political class in the state gov't. It's time for a change.

Connecticut now has tied for *the highest unemployment rate in the nation*! State leadership is failing our families horribly. We need a change to create a more prosperous future for all. That change starts on August 17th in our special election.

If you’re considering comparing your political opponents to Nazis—no matter which side you’re on—don’t. Our state and nation is only further divided by histrionic rhetoric.

Accding to @truthinacct , CT now has the worst unfunded taxpayer liability in the US…$60k per taxpayer. Yet current Dem leadership approved 12 state employee contracts increasing pay in 2019, increased debt spending in 2020 & raised total spending 3% 2021.

Third CT Democrat official arrested on federal charges in the last year—a state rep., state sen., & city councilman. I hope the media will take this pattern from one party as seriously as they do when a member of the other party makes a silly remark…

Me in The @nypost (no, not @PageSix ): Despite campaigning to “change” CT, @CTDems have delivered more of the same in higher doses: New taxes & powers for the powerful, while job growth grinds to a halt. A CT turnaround will require a real change in gov’t.

Yet CT has very strict limits on apprenticeships written into law—as do many other states. We should pass legislation that state Rep. Tim Ackert and others have submitted ASAP to provide more opportunity to young people.

There's an appetite for more vocational education in America. 62% of students who didn’t get a bachelor’s degree said they would have rather had a three-year apprenticeship than a fully funded college education. And, in fact, so did nearly 30% of people who did get a degree.

If we extend emergency exec powers in CT for two years, w/ the highest vax rate & lowest case rate, it sets precedent to suspend constitutional checks & balances for many more reasons. I hope Dems will “defend democracy” too. I joined @toddtalk to discuss:

CT has the highest adult vax rate in the US & the lowest infection rate. That’s w/ a good vax rollout by the admin & *without* a statewide mandate. A testament to the conscientiousness of our ppl. ALSO, in the 12 days since Biden’s vax “mandate”, the national vax rate has FALLEN.
