“California,New York and Connecticut heavy on taxation and regulatory.”
“Connecticut continues its rapid decline and it’s getting ugly.” “Connecticut could be the business-friendly refuge of NYC and New England, but instead taxes and regulates like the crown of Old England.” “California and Connecticut have state governments that are simply too big, too intrusive and too anti-business.” “Connecticut has continued to raise taxes and implement additional regulations the opposite of what is required to stimulate growth. Lowered bond rating raises longer term risk of doing business in the state.” |
