...oh I agree (all the made up data)...and like I said......MISMANAGEMENT.

IF it's that tough and time consuming to crunch the previous year's data (which it isn't), then base the regs on thoroughly scrutinized data from two years ago......for the 2016 regs use data collected 12/31/14 and spin the data every which way they want, which would give CT DEEP 365 days to study the data and do something real with it (if their collected data was real, which its not). Or compile the data from 3 previous years, look at trends, look at averages, what they think needs to change (up or down) and publish the regs by January 1st.

The world collects data and makes decisions all the time....from 1 person companies to huge companies, cities, states, regions, etc. Why can't 1 state scrutinize some data, make some decisions, and publish them? It's not a hard concept.
