Most of us have had to re evaluate our budgets and cut out certain items. Most of us are making due with the same level of income, as food, gas, and taxes keep increasing which translate to less spendable income. The state and gov.Dan Malloy ( notice how in the campaign he  was just good old Dan, as soon as he took office it became Dannel, reaction to more power and bigger ego?) must cut spending not just push more cost on to the people.  When the casinos opened we all had hopes that all those millions would help keep the sate in good shape, but instead of saving that money the state just found new ways to spend. More taxes will just drive business and people away. Mass. just eliminated  sales tax on liquor because they said people were going to CT because we have a lower tax. so now that they have no sales tax on liquor sales and we do, and possibly we are going to raise the tax why wouldn't people go to Mass. for liquor, no sales tax and much lower prices! CT stores open on Sunday will not make up budget short falls. Higher cost of living and taxes will mean less disposable income, which will result in lower sales of non essential items.

Just another day in paradise
