I'm an accountant - and I don't believe for a second the higher-ups in the state missed the fact that everyone was realizing capital gains like crazy in 2012 ahead of the new ObamaCare 3.8% tax that went into effect in 2013...

I know Malloy's cronies need sandals on to count to 20 (and a bit of luck), but someone had to have looked at the tax revenue generated by that sell-off and realized it wouldn't continue into the future - there was a political spin to that grossly overstated early number in an election year hoping to generate votes from indigents who are the only ones who would notice such a pitiful amount in the first place...all the while employers across the state are still being taxed additionally on their payrolls to repay the debts incurred to the Feds from the last round of hand-outs (ie extended unemployment benefits - which I agreed with at the time.)

We need a 1 term limit on all public nuisances...
