CT Housing In the RED
We have a “sea of red” on this map from Zillow
Our housing market will not come back until the jobs come back
People need Safe Secure Housing in order to prosper
Home ownership has been a major factor in the prosperity of the USA
The lack of good stable jobs that pay well enough to allow people to advance
both our country & our state will continue to suffer.
We have too many homes that have not only lost their value
they are also worth less than the mortgages & many are in foreclosure process
We need for the banks to stop being rewarded for not not working with the home owners
Change the General Assembly #Elect #Tillett4CT
#MakeCTListen
Dan Malloy is leading the state in the wrong direction
but he only bears a small part of the blame for our current financial mess in CT
Who writes the laws?
Who raises our taxes?
The general assembly is the group doing this to us
The governor makes suggestions & signs or vetoes the bills put in front of him/her
but most of our problems are a direct result of the men & women in the general assembly
Our general assembly has had 1 party rule in it for over 30 years
The democrats have been spending our state into the poor house
If we want to change CT we’ve got to change the direction in which it is going
That means we must change the people who are up in Hartford in the general assembly
Our state senators & representatives are much more responsible for the mess we are in than the governors
Reality is that most of the general assembly has been in office longer than any governor
If we want to turn our state around we must start by changing the general assembly

CT Taxes – Shared Sacrifice – Are You Hurting Enough Yet?
I was talking to a few people over the weekend about the high taxes
Sometimes I wonder exactly what are our elected officials & career politicians are thinking
In Hartford I heard it numerous times that they are tired of everything rising except paychecks
People are exhausted under the burden of trying to survive in CT
Both at the state level & city level people are frustrated that the elected career politicians aren’t listening to what the needs of the people are…
Where are all of our tax dollars being spent?
Why are they talking about paying to move a baseball team when schools are in need of repair?
#AreYouReady for the #CTComeBack ?
#YouHaveAChoice to make will you stay with the status quo or a go with a #FreshNewStart ?
Our State Senate needs to be RETIRED & Fresh Eyes & New Ideas tried in the 2nd District.
While the video below focuses upon the governor, it is the general assembly that makes the laws & the budgets.
The majority of the members have been office for so long they no longer are in touch with the needs or the people;
these are the men & women who need to be voted out of office if you are tired of the status quo.
#RememberInNovember the people who are in office now are the very same ones that voted to steal your children’s chocolate milk & raise the taxes on the gas & your paycheck.
CT the Tax Money Pit
CT is at the “bottom of the list” for too many lists
This facebook post is a good pictorial of the business reports that have done the research & are reporting just how poorly our state is doing.
Far too long we’ve had 1 party rule in the CT General Assembly with both republican Governors & Democrat ones –
We’ve been going down hill for too long to place the blame on any one governor; the constant has been our State Senators & State Reps who unlike the governors have been in offices up at the capitol for 20+ to 30+ years.
CT if you are finally tired of the money mismanagement & the ever-increasing taxes then #YouHaveAChoice to make
Will you keep the status quo & stay on the same downward spiral that we are in?
Or will you choose to make #AFreshNewStart
Time is running out for us here in the Nutmeg State & it is time for you to think seriously about who are you going to vote for this year…. #ChooseWell
Communications – Yes I want to hear from YOU
One of the things that I feel is the biggest reason for our state & our country falling apart is the lack of communications between the citizens & the elected officials once they get into office
When our country was founded it was designed with the idea that our elected officials would live & continue to work among the citizens of the state & therefore would be accessible to the citizens during the year.
We were supposed to be have ongoing discussions about what is occurring in our areas with the elected but that seems to have been forgotten.
Unfortunately as the many years have passed there has been a disconnect between the people & the elected.
The elected have become a “class” of people that have become removed from the people.
As the distance between the elected & the people grows the Special Interests drive a wedge with their money to push the elected to make & vote for laws that do nothing to help our families, small businesses & seniors & many times have in fact been been laws that have been outright hurtful to our citizens.
I have several social media connections as a way to interact.
I also have a 24-7 voice mail as a way for voters to keep in contact which I intend to keep going as a way for us to communicate.
I want to have discussions via teleconference about the proposed laws that are being reviewed; as well as asking for input on what is deemed to be a problem.
If there is something that the citizens feel is a problem how do citizens in the 2nd District feel should be the options for solving that problem.
When was the Last Time that YOU were asked for input on the lawmaking process?
“We the People” means just that; the people who live in the 2nd District are the people whose needs are supposed to be the primary concern of the Senator that is sent up to represent them up in the halls of Hartford’s Legislative Building.
Special Interest Groups & Lobbyists should not be given the access to our elected that the citizens do not have on a daily basis.

Where are you in the Social Media world?
I think that one reason that people are so disconnected from the elected people is due to not being connected to them on a more personal level so there is no accountability between the people being elected & the citizens in our towns, I say we can change this right now
I do want to change this & am looking for the best ways to connect with the people in the 2nd District
In addition to this blog which has comments enabled I am on FaceBook & G+ & YouTube
I have opened up a 24/7 voicemail so that regardless of the time of day someone can call & leave me a message about what they think is a problem, a suggestion about what we should work on to improve life for all of us & any money saving ideas that we can look into & any potential fraud that might be needing to get looked at.
Let’s work together to turn the 2nd District & our state around & back on to the right track
Leave us some comments & let us get connected
Go ahead & give me a call 641-715-3900 ext 327977#

CT Drivers Licenses & Political Pandering?
Many people in CT have very short memories
But a few years back it was voted by the General Assembly to give CT Drivers Licenses to Illegal Aliens this year…
Someone in the Democrat Controlled Administration realized a few weeks back that “OMG! It’s Election Year & we can’t have this to be used against us!”
When the rollout date for this year was set they figured that people would have forgotten all about the law they passed & people would be too busy getting ready for “Back to school” & the other Election Issues
What they did not expect was to have the “Border Crisis” to become huge National News & lots of push back by the citizens of CT against the influx to our Sanctuary Cities here in CT…
So as quietly as they could they moved back the New Rollout Date to Dec 1st AFTER the Elections
but there was someone not happy about the attempt to hide the move date until after the elections so it was leaked to WTNH News, who followed up by asking the Governor about the new rollout date
Below is that interview video
Do you believe the answers & excuses that you hear?
Does it bother you at all about the CDLs being given?
Have you considered the cost to implement this program?
What about the testing for the CDLs how rigorous is it & can they read the signs in English?
What about some sort of Bond to ensure that they will have insurance?
Since when did a CDL become a RIGHT but self protection which IS a RIGHT they want to make a privilege granted only to a select special few?
