Mr. Boughton is a liability for Mr. Foley. Mr. Foley did not choose wisely by allowing Boughton to become the Lt. Gov. candidate. They will both fail on Nov. 2.
My wife and I both feel the same way about Tom Foley. He is an untrustworthy rich opportunist with too many black marks and too many unarticulated hidden agendas.
The state deserves a dedicated public servant with a decent and proven track record like Malloy. Not a “bomb-throwing shakeup artist” like Foley who promises IN ADVANCE to be destructive.
Foley has to explain his arrests and many other black marks.
Malloy is a decent middle class chap, like most of us.
Connecticut’s state and local tax burden is third highest in the nation. Connecticut’s 2010 business-tax climate ranks 38th. Connecticut’s property-tax collections per capita rank second-highest nationally, behind only New Jersey. Connecticut’s gasoline tax stands at 41.9 cents per gallon, fourth highest.
Connecticut gets only 69 cents back from every dollar we send to Washington, D.C., the third lowest nationally. Tax Freedom Day arrives April 27 in Connecticut, the latest in the nation.estions the voters need to ask themselves: Why do we have the second-highest electric rates in the country after Hawaii? Why does all the gasoline tax not go to transportation? Why is our tax burden so high? Why is Connecticut’s unfunded liability at nearly $15.9 billion, the second-highest unfunded pension liability per capita in the country? Why is our state not ranked higher as business friendly? Why is our return on money we send to Washington so low at 69 cents on the dollar, when Mississippi gets $2.02 back?
Is there a failure of our legislature and our congressional delegation to do what is best for the state? Perhaps we need more balance in both.

Malloy will win on Nov. 2nd. Foley is the loser.
