I’m not born and raised in CT. So I’m not biased. But now living in CT. I really enjoy it. Food, our towns school district is really nice.

While I don’t see too much that bothers me aside from a higher property tax and it’s not nothing to break the bank on.

Paying taxes on my car is really annoying. I don’t like that.

Electric is way too high compared to my previous state.

But I feel maybe this “tax” issue is more for corporations.

Lego, the soup company I can’t think of, and I’m sure more that I don’t know to leave CT. While they use the excuse to retain talent is weak but then again idk much of where they moved or moving to taxes are like either.

TLDR; I like CT, don’t like certain taxes.

Idk why people are obsessed with the false idea that if you are Catholic because you believe that Jesus is the Eucharist that also means you condone the sins of everyone who also calls themselves Catholic. Besides, by and large CPS/DCFS and even public schools have more significant rates of sexual assault and misconduct, yet no one accuses people who send their kids to public school of willful neglect or of turning a blind eye to the way these corporations can harbor and even enable predators. I know you’re making a joke but grossly oversimplifying things to assert one’s moral superiority just gets… old.

If you need the catalytic converter to pass emissions than technically you have 2 years to get it fixed as you can't renew the car registration without having passed emissions.

So … do I even need to spend $1600 damn dollars to even fix this then if the only penalty is $20?! Car is already registered and it expires in two years per state law. Kinda surprised if this is the case.

I just appreciate my taxes being used in ways that actually improve the quality of life in our community. I had a coworker have a baby a few weeks back and the fact that her and the father can bond with their kid while getting supplemental pay through the paid family leave act genuinely makes me smile.

Also, the areas that aren’t taxed are hell holes compared to what we have.

That's the thing, it doesn't equal out. Once you take everything into account, they're probably not gonna put more than 25 to 27 in there for a concert that can't be the day before or the day after a football game for logistics reasons, and for that you might as well use the actual concert venue with better amenities for the artist and crew.
