Following GE, Aetna Set To Bolt Dem Gov Dan Malloy’s Anti-Business Connecticut

According to a new report, another major employer is close to announcing it will move its headquarters out of Connecticut in the wake of Failed Democrat Governor Dan Malloy and Connecticut Democrats’ anti-business policies. After having been headquartered in Hartford for over 150 years, the major health insurer Aetna will reportedly soon move their headquarters out of the state, and take several hundred jobs with them. Aetna would join General Electric as the latest major company to leave Connecticut after Malloy and his Democrat enablers pushed massive tax-hikes, harmful regulations and anti-business policies. With high profile business departures, a devastating budget shortfall, across the board credit downgrades, record job losses, and residents fleeing the state en masse, Democrat policies continue to hurt the state and push it even further backwards.

Fox 61 reports:

“Aetna, one of the capital cities largest employers, is close to announcing a move to New York according to a local political observer.

The move was reported in the blog of Kevin Rennie, a South Windsor lawyer and opinion columnist for the Hartford Courant. ‘The move from Hartford will initially involve several hundred top corporate jobs moving to a new home base in Manhattan,’ Rennie wrote. Rennie is a former Republican state legislator.

Aetna has been headquartered in Hartford for more than 150 years.

According to the Courant, the news took state leaders by surprise and Governor Dan Malloy declined comment. The Courant said the company had no comment on the report.”
