    Attention; CT Lawmakers and Governor ObaMalloy: the horse is already out of the barn. More oats for it in a neighboring state that DOESN’T take as many oats out of its feeding trough. Building nicer barns and smoothing the roads leading to and from it won’t keep other horses from leaving your barn. Allow the horses to keep more of oats it earned with its labors and it will remain loyal.

    PS: According to Forbes, Bloomberg, Fox Business, Financial Times, etc. ‘GE’ now means ‘General Exodus’ to CT taxpayers.

    Also: incentives for horses to stay in the barn should never have been required. Too much was spent on people who helped politicians get elected, and those horses who pulled the wagon are looking for places where the wagons are less full, and more horses pull that lighter load.

    This is an example from a state in a similar situation, on the opposite coast;

    Single Payer advances in CA WITHOUT a defined source of funding.

    Offering incentives for ONE company to stay in Connecticut is ‘picking favorites’, which typically leads to political favors for those companies and a reciprocation of those favors down the road.

    Why wouldn’t (Aetna’s) competitors be offended by this favoritism by a political party?
