After Raising Taxes In Connecticut, Dan Malloy Caught Not Paying His Own Taxes

After signing into law one of the largest tax hikes in state history in Connecticut, forcing General Electric to pack up shop and bolt the state, Failed Governor Dan Malloy faced further questions of incompetence this week as it was revealed he had not paid and was in arrears on taxes for two of his cars. As he travels the country this year fundraising for Democrat gubernatorial candidates as Chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, Malloy’s ‘do as I say, not as I do’ philosophy serves as a clear lesson as to what kind of failed leadership voters could expect in their state under a Democrat governor.
