Hydropower is the best, and we have one of the best "mill streams" in Connecticut.

I'll spend the next several months working on a project for @CTMirror that examines the effects of eviction on children here in CT. So if you work on eviction prevention/housing instability, hit me up! Let's chat!

@AlexandraErin I’m just grateful these temperature scales are different enough that when referring to everyday temperatures you know immediately which scale is being used even if it isn’t specified.

@Supreme____Beef @FrankGuilfoyle @PatrickSasser5 For employees hired after 7/1/17, overtime is averaged over 25 years. Working a lot of overtime at the end of your career won’t increase your pension much. Connecticut has cut over 13,000 employees since 2008, so a little overtime is to be expected.

@MichaelWink @FrankGuilfoyle @PatrickSasser5 We all know that revenues from tolls will go to pay off pension liabilities. To pretend otherwise is foolish.
Show us a little good faith and introduce legislation to stop the practice of padding pensions with overtime in the last 2 years.

This movement has shed light on mismanagement of our money for decades. We the people have had enough and demand it stop. #notollsct

@hippousmc Currently, Connecticut is phasing out the state income tax for pension and annuity income for singles with less than $75,000 income and couples with $100,000. I’m trying to get the tax exemption for couples with up to $150,000 in income.

@Supreme____Beef @FrankGuilfoyle @PatrickSasser5 The pensions have been refinanced with level payments for 30+ years into the future until the unfounded liability is gone. It’s done, no additional revenue required.

@CTMirrorKeith That’s because Connecticut’s Objective Job Evaluation (O-J-E) was designed to eliminate gender disparities in pay for “female-dominated” job classes.

@alexplitsas @hartfordcourant @chrispkeating Waitstaff received no benefit from the minimum wage bill. Their $6.38/hr wage is permanent. Waitstaff is only paid minimum wage ($10.10/hr) when they can’t make tips (i.e. cleaning before restaurant opens).

I hope Rep. Winkler's efforts become law. Imposing fees on taxpayers using their own cellphones to record public records is absurd.
My office doesn't charge for info and -- for what it's worth ($20, I guess) -- putting data online = more staff resources & fewer FOI requests.
