curious Mind wants to know said...: With Stanley expanding its industrial base, will they eventually re-open some if it's vacant buildings, such as the one on the corner of Myrtle St. and Curtis St.?
It seems such a waste to have these buildings vacant for so many years.; July 31, 2010 at 12:35 PM

I wonder if this is a sign of things to come, after all, who could blame a company for moving to a state with no unions, and no taxes?; July 31, 2010 at 12:53 PM

Sales Taxes
State Sales Tax: 6.25% (non-prepared food, prescription and non-prescription drugs exempt)--CT is 6% with similar exemptions. Texas is one quarter of one percent higher, but consider all the other taxes you don't pay in Texas:

Gasoline Tax: 20 cents/gallon--CT is 41.9 cents MORE THAN 2 TIMES AS MUCH

Texas: Diesel Fuel Tax: 20 cents/gallon--CT is 45.9 cents per gallon MORE THAN 2 TIMES AS MUCH

Texas: Cigarette Tax: $1.41 cents/pack of 20--CT is $3.00 per pack MORE THAN 2 TIMES AS MUCH

Personal Income Taxes
Texas: No state personal income tax--CT state income tax ranges from 3 to 6.5%
Texas: Retirement Income: Not taxed.--CT taxes every dime of your retirement income.

WHAT DO THE LIBERALS IN OUR LEGISLATURE DO WITH ALL THAT MONEY???; July 31, 2010 at 7:49 PM
