don't fret moochie, there are plenty of talented types in the house and senate who will creatively find a way to continue to plunder the rest of us for their benefit.

Why I can hear the rumbling starting anew over the millionaires tax, oops I meant the upwardly mobile tax in order to be more inclusive, say down to the 50K mark should be about right for a new progressive levy on those dirty rats who dare to have a job, of course all state and local gov't employees will be exempted in the interest of fairness ....

Man get a life! I KNEW you'd post here. Read the article. The company is in BANKRUPTCY and not because CT put them there. They are CONSOLIDATING plants in more high tech facilities. What private business would close their BEST factory to move to an older one they own and try to make a go of it there? Especially a Canadian company that most assuredly has a better deal going in their country for themselves. You just have an ax to grind for state workers and the state in general thinking that everyone is working the system. Get on with your life.

Maybe someone out there might think of checking the QW website and actually read the company's press release regarding this plant closing. If you did, you would read that a major Canadian print plant was also shut down at the same time. So, do Canadians really have a better deal going on in their own country? Especially if that work is relocated to US plants?
Next time, you might want to get all the facts before you speak.

So numbnuts, where are the articles about companies moving in and building high tech facilities here? What will you do with your life when they eliminate your useless state job?
