    I talked about a similar topic on my site yesterday. I won’t bother sharing the address because then I’ll look like a spammer

    Greedy top mgtmt continuously “create” jobs for their friends/family at high income level positions. Only one ex. in Judicial, one dpt. that was run for 100 years by 1 person now consists of a deputy director at at least 160k, a prog mgr, and five other employees, making anywhere from 60k to 125k, plus benefits and pensions. They are created positions that are unecessary. A chief clerk got his wife a job at well over 100k showing Judges how to use their laptops. IT IS GREED, IT IS BANKRUPTING US, but all the “lawmakers” won’t touch the Judges and their created positions for their friends/family. It is corruption and greed. 73 Judge trial referees (retired judges) collecting their pensions and a daily wage, double dipping (160k plus daily rate of 220?), 34 deputy directors 100k-165k, 64 program mgrs at 75k-125k. We need to clean house with upper mgt. These created jobs run into the billions for taxpayers. They are raping the tax payers and killing the State. (estimated figures)

    Please visit http://www.yankeeinstitute.org for a listing of 1,126 state employees earning in excess of $150,000. This is verified accurate data from The Yankee Institute.

    I was very surprised to see how many State Police Sergeants earn $200,000 + per year; truly shocking!

    While many Connecticut taxpayers are hurting, many state employees are retiring as multi-millionaires.

    Thank you,

    Jobs are not made by tax heights. Reasonable spending is needed. Cut hand outs. Work efficiently. Less government and less regulation will allow the top twenty percent who do the work anyway to be profitable so the rest can mooch off them.

    Let’s see. a $400,000,000 deficit divided by 3,500,000 CT residents (yes, infants and unemployed too–we all have to share this burden) equals….a $114.29 one-time assessment on each resident.

    Problem solved.
