either way, "bye bye CT". ::queues the tumbleweeds::

a beautifully perfect quote "GE's move, however, is not fundamentally about taxes (although Massachusetts' are lower). It's about Connecticut's Democratic-controlled Capitol viewing businesses as feed bags for funding social policies rather than seed corn for a more vibrant economy."

Hartford Courant

Maybe if Malloy spent less time brown nosing our useless POTUS and more time fixings CTs myriad problems we wouldn't be going down the toilet. Good thing he and the legislature wasted all that time on smoke-and-mirror gun laws. Things are going to get WAY worse before they get better.

Like Bernie said, any company, including insurance companies, can leave the US and do their business in other countless while serving the US. This is all caused by bad trade deals.

Losing Aetna would be a lot bigger deal than losing the GE headquarters. Several thousand Aetna jobs vs 200 GE jobs. As I posted before, New London/Groton losing part of Pfizer was a lot bigger deal on that part of the state than FFC losing GE because of the sheer number of jobs in the region took a huge hit.

My guess, though, is that Malloy will work out some sort of deal like he did with UTC where Aetna gets tax breaks and financial incentives to stay for 10 or 20 years.

I don't think an insurance company would realistically move their HQ to Mexico or China.

He's talking about production, not corporate headquarters.
