To the editor:
Gov. Dannel Malloy and the Democratic controlled legislator have taken Connecticut down a path toward a fiscal disaster.
They have imposed the second-largest tax increase in CT history. In 2015, they proposed an 11 percent spending growth over two years.
They borrowed $750 million for cash flow. They delayed $400 million in debt payments. They targeted hospitals to raise $500 million in tax revenue. They moved $3 billion from Medicare spending out of the general fund.
Finally, the removed $110 million from the Special Transportation fund for road and bridge repairs. Malloy has led us in the wrong direction and Cristin McCarthy Vahey has voted with him 98 percent of the time. I am very friendly with Cristin, she is a very nice and good person, but if we are going to change our course, we need a change in Hartford. Ray Neuberger has won the endorsement of the Republican and Independent party. I strongly encourage those who think we are heading down the wrong path to vote for Ray Neuberger on Nov. 8 and give change a chance.
