The population loss has nothing to do with Malloy, but conservatives love to use that as a reason for the loss in population.
Not big on satire, I see. Pretty sure he was making fun of the posters with 2nd grade grammar and spelling abilities.

Fairfield county is the hope of CT and Stamford the hope of CT's cities. If things keep going as they are, Fairfield county might be home to most of CT's population and basically become the real CT.

CT's birth rate is low, and with Federal immigration policies hampering the ability to get people from across the ocean not really a shock that we lost population. Like 100 people died in the BPT area alone this week (old age), not sure how many people actually moved out.

There is an issue with the again the rabid conservatives that believe that every area should be growing at least geometrically, but let's see how TX, LA, FL and ND (the conservative beacons of "how they're right") are going to fare now that the DOL and Federal Reserve are predicting a sharp recession in each of those locations.

Not to get off topic, but can you provide a link to back up this claim. I'm not sure about the rest of the states but Florida seems to be doing ok in my field which is a leading indicator on economy.

I'd like a link, too. Anything to prove Texas is inferior to New England!

The last 10 years Ct pop loss , while still sometimes happening, was not near the prior 10, which resulted in the loss of the 6th Congressman.

Ct will drop to 4 within 1 or 2 census cycles, due mostly to the US growing pop, as opposed to a relatively small Ct pop decline.

The census favors small states, as they use round up to divide up Congressional seats, meaning Ct must "earn" via population 4.01 of 435 or more simply retain 4.01/435 of the US pop to retain seat number 5. That's huge, as if they used pure rounding, Ct would need 4.5/435 of US pop to hold seat 5.

The word is "LOSE" as in: The state of Conneticut is going to LOSE 3000 residents in the next 12 months.

Otherwise the meaning of the word is different which makes your sentence wrong.

Lose is something that is misplaced
Loose is something that does not fit tight

Besides that a lot of states have a normal ebb and flow of residents that move in and out so it doesn't really affect the economy of that state too much.

bear in mind, over 40 states regularly gain population (net), so not growing makes the loss of Congressional seats a matter of when, not if.

Ah, good to see people leaving the state with the biggest socioeconomic gap between rich and poor. That state is not worth living in. It's just expensive, old, cold, and class-oriented.
