FYI

The CEO of UTC whom you quoted before was actually Greg Hayes, the CFO, and that very same person was at a forum on the subject at UHart later on and was put face to face with Malloy. While he correctly framed his statement as most states are high cost and not competitive he ultimately praised Connecticuts workers ability to perform high end manufacturing like the businesses UTC is in. Also he said while CT has a long way to go, Malloy has been a lot more business friendly than past governors, and its a breath of fresh air.

all that is of course paraphrased but pretty accurate if memory serves.... google it

So, the the money guy at the biggest company (employer) in CT thinks things are getting better and that the Gov is more business friendly....
since he holds 14,000 high paying CT jobs in is hands, does your opinion matter? does mine matter? NOPE, but his does

The Republicans are not much better but the Democrats are absolutely irresponsible and Malloy has continued their war with business.

He passed the biggest tax increase in Connecticut history.
He actually increased the size f Connecticut state government.
He passed anti-small business health care mandates (the only one in the country).
He gave state unions a four year moratorium on any layoffs.
The Democratic legislature passed energy policies that made Connecticut uncompetitive with other states including the highest gas tax in America.
In 2008 they passed global warming rules that don't affect global warming and handcuff Connecticut businesses.

I mean, really, this stuff is insane. It is the most active anti-business agenda in the country. It has placed Connecticut last in the country in job creation. Companies are sprinting towards the border. Even the head of United Technologies has said the business climate is better anywhere but Connecticut. When UT talks, these idiots should listen.

These are the reason Hartford's vacancy rate is going up and not coming down. And it won't come down until these issues are addressed. I'm not saying there are no successes. But the trend is awful. The state needs to wake up or Hartford will turn into a ghost town and the rest of the state will follow.
