WSJ Slams Connecticut Dem Gov Dan Malloy’s Anti-Jobs Policies

Failed Democrat governor Dan Malloy’s endless tax hikes and job-killing policies have proven so disastrous for Connecticut, some of the state’s population is literally packing up and leaving. With Connecticut residents fleeing Malloy’s policies en masse, The Wall Street Journal reported on the results of his failed leadership:

“You don’t need a Yale degree to figure out the tax hikes have been a disaster. A net 30,000 residents moved to other states last year. Since 2010 seven of Connecticut’s eight counties have lost population, and the hedge-fund haven of Fairfield County shrank for the first time last year. In the last five years, 27,400 Connecticut residents have moved to Florida. Florida Governor Rick Scott should pay Mr. Malloy a broker’s fee.

More than 3,000 Connecticut residents have moved to zero income-tax New Hampshire in the last two years. While liberals wax apocalyptic about Kansas’s tax cuts, the Prairie State has welcomed 1,430 Connecticut refugees since 2011 and reversed the outflow between 2005 and 2009. Yet liberals deny that tax policies influence personal or business decisions…

…Since 2010 employment in Connecticut has grown at half the rate of Massachusetts and more slowly than in Rhode Island, New Jersey or Kansas. If the kids reject the tax-credit deal, maybe Gov. Malloy will start negotiating the terms and conditions for staying with each graduate. Or perhaps Democrats could seek President Trump’s help to build a wall around the state.”

Dan Malloy’s failed leadership continues to put Connecticut further behind. After almost two terms of the disaster that has been Dan Malloy, Connecticut is ready to turn the page in 2018 and find new leadership.
