I suppose we could take the 43 mil from schools, from much needed infrastructure projects or by firing even more State workers (we may lose about 2000 of them already). They have to find a way to balance a >900 Million dollar deficit by the end of 2016. Tax increases aren't going to cut it, they tried that last time and it barely made a dent. The economy was hit hard by the recession and the jobs that are returning aren't producing anywhere near enough revenue to cover the losses.

The State has to balance the cuts and no matter what it's going to hurt a lot. The overestimation of revenue and underestimation of expenses over the last several years and Governments has come to a head.

The money has to come from somewhere and no matter where you find it someone is going to get hurt.

Dannel Malloy is one of the most liberal Governors in the country supported by one of the most liberal legislatures in the country. There is no easy way out of this.
