Report: Connecticut Is in a Fiscal 'Hole' - Government & Politics - East Haven, CT Patch
  1. Connecticut must put its finances in order, especially with regard to restructuring pension and healthcare plans to make them fair, affordable, and sustainable. Putting our finances on a sound track will also require comprehensive tax and revenue reform. 
  2. The state must take steps to attract businesses in the sectors that can grow Connecticut’s economy in the future — such as digital technology, biomedical innovation and pharmaceuticals. 
  3. Lastly, the state needs to create a culture of transparency, accountability and transformation at all levels of government, in order to address economic inefficiencies and disparities that arise, in part, from the fact that Connecticut is one of only two states without county government.
