Legislature Continues to Repeat Same Mistakes

During our most recent special session, I compared the handling of the current fiscal crisis to the popular Bill Murray movie, Groundhog Day. In the movie, Murray's character relives the same day over, and over again until he finally learns his lesson.

Legislative Democrats have yet to learn their lesson and continue to offer the same empty solutions to deal with Connecticut's current fiscal crisis.

The legislature continues to repeat the mistake of not cutting spending when we have a deficit -- meaning at the end of the year our only choices are to borrow or raise taxes. Governor Rell and the legislative Republicans have offered moderate, specific cuts to get us out of this deficit, and the majority Democrats continue to refuse to get serious.
