This is really unlike Jodi Rell. I think that she's scared, and I have no idea what she means by "smaller government."
CT has some of the highest personal property taxes in the country, and for most people it almost impossible to live there because of the cost.
She addressed unemployment in her address, but did not put forth any of her own ideas about how to aid the unemployment crisis in the state of
Connecticut.
She mentions "cuts" that "will be painful." If she's talking about education, road crews, and the like... there's going to be a problem. The education
in CT is sub par for a state with so many wealthy families, and most students attend private school because of that. I'm glad that I'm getting out of
the school system.
In places like New Haven, Stamford, Danbury, there are housing projects for the poor and homeless which receive state funding. I hope that does not
stop, because those people need help. Connecticut does not get a lot of money from tourism. I don't know how she expects to get all this money, I
don't know what else she can cut.
