Dems delay state finance report till after the election!- StamfordAdvocate
Funny, then, that a law requiring an annual report to be given on state finances was altered this year in a way that temporarily hid financial realities until they could not do political damage.

Connecticut’s Fiscal Mess - Jillian Kay Melchior - National Review Online
As Congress considers massive tax hikes to fix the U.S. deficit, the state of Connecticut is worth a look. There, a similar strategy is failing epically.
Governor Dannel Malloy’s budget chief told the state legislature on Wednesday that Connecticut was facing a $365 million deficit for this fiscal year. That’s nearly twice as big as the $205 million estimate released last week by the Office of Fiscal Analysis and the Office of Policy and Management. And it’s more than six times what Governor Malloy, a Democrat, had estimated before the election.
If you think that discrepancy is suspicious, you’re not alone. And consider this: Democrats, who hold the majority in both houses of the state legislature, voted to postpone the release of the fall consensus revenue forecasts, which revealed Connecticut’s rather ugly fiscal picture, until after November 6.

State Looking At Red Ink For Next 3 Years; Cafero Says It’s Not Transparent | Capitol Watch
“Whether I say it, Tom Foley says it, my mother says it, a fourth-grader says it, we’re repeating facts from his own Office of Policy and Management,” Cafero told Capitol Watch. “It was his decision, his gamble [on the budget] to go a certain path that hasn’t worked. … It didn’t work. We knew it wouldn’t work. He made a decision to balance this budget on tax increases and phantom savings alone. He did not reduce spending. He increased it. It doesn’t take a math whiz to figure out that doesn’t add up. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize you’re going to have a deficit. We predicted it when he passed the thing.”
“Who’s playing fast and loose with the facts?” Cafero asked. “I’m just going by his figures, his statements. We’re in very bad financial shape. Let’s admit that it hasn’t worked. Stop playing defense, governor, and fix the problem.”
