Rell no; Amann yes

I couldn't help but Laugh Out Loud at the end of this very surprising article about... Gov. Rell saying NO to a tax hike! (Courant, by Christopher Keating) Buried at the end of the article:

House Speaker James Amann said he is not satisfied to simply end the year with no tax increase. "We don't want to keep the status quo,'' Amann said. "With this new money, we can give more tax relief for the taxpayers. Let's give even more tax relief to more and more citizens.'"
So Speaker Amann is going to give us "tax relief?" And how exactly is he going to do that? Oh... I guess it'll be with "this new money." I guess that's what is sometimes called "free money." I believe it grows on trees in Hartford. LOL!!!

What I find most interesting though about this article is what I'm left wondering... and I hope everyone is watching... is this the moment in time when Gov. Rell is going to stop and pivot... turning to the legislative Dems and blame them for raising taxes?

So the Democratic leadership in Hartford is saying:

We have to raise your taxes
to give you tax relief.


How transparent is that?!

Cut spending and you can cut taxes and maybe then retain the manufacturing we have. Manufacturing created real jobs not like retail.

Bring state and local salaries into line with the private sector.
