Vichy Speaks: CBIA Supports Democratic Budget–25 Years After Pushing for State Income Tax.

Another great stab in the back. The people at the top of Connecticut Business and Industry Association (CBIA), the well-known insurance agency that masquerades as a business advocacy group, are urging legislators to support the patchwork Democratic budget agreed to by legislators and Governor Dannel P. Malloy. CBIA was a vigorous supporter of the imposition of the income tax on working people 25 years ago.

No word on what the gaggle of dues-collecting deserters thinks about the current year’s revised budget deficit of $250 million, which nearly depletes the state’s rainy day fund.

Critical details of legislation implementing the 2017 budget are not available, though that appears to have made no impression on CBIA officials as they consider these issues on assorted golf courses.
