Definitely the economy of CT put me in a sour mood. Laid off and let go at another job after hired due to the budget. Those 2 job's were in patient care in the Healthcare field. Then taking pay cuts and hopping around with job's last year. Being hit by tax bills only being able to find part time work. Seeing the cost of tuition go up. It dampened my mood. Working part time and difficulty finding a second job difficult to afford a place.

Hoping can get full time work at the hospital I am at eventually to get a place of my own. However, with the Governors tax bills cut a lot of funding to hospital I am at and state hospitals. So keeping fingers crossed.

I am still optimistic that CT can revive itself lived here since I was born, 28 year's, do hope can continue to make it work in CT.

The thing is, even with these losses, I can't say that I notice it. Traffic is just as congested, the trains are just as packed.
The mention of Morton's made me chuckle.

And I love the creepy pictures the Times' photog made.

“Certainly it’s discouraging. I got to believe that there’s been up and down trends in the past and we’re still busy. My business is still busy,” said Milford Photo’s Jesse Thompson.


“New Haven is better than Fairfield county in my opinion. There’s a lot more to do here,” said Ashiq.

New Haven and Milford area came in 3rd, at number 5 sat the Hartford area, and 6th was Bridgeport, Stamford and Norwalk.

"The New Haven public schools have seen a jump in enrollment and the Department of Economic Development says the city has grown and is growing boasting 3-thousand new apartments are being built. We are very fortunate in the state of Connecticut of all the regions New Haven’s doing the best,” said Rescigno."

Thanks for posting. The way they presented it, using a map, was quite informative.

The picture would be less unsettling if the guy in the other room was doing work on the computer or something.

Think Rowland second term on State kind of took a spiral economically down the drain.

Young people want nice cities to live in, but CT is designed to be a giant suburb. CT needs to focus more on urban development and directing resources towards reducing crime and poverty in its cities. Otherwise we're going to continue to be stuck with unsustainable sprawl that creates a transportation nightmare and fails to attract residents and businesses. I think the budget altering the tax structure in order to offset property taxes in the cities with some higher taxes statewide, is a small step in the right direction.
