Dominion, the owner of the plant, has already promised to shut down the plant and lay off all their employees if Danno gets his tax plan passed.; April 12, 2011 at 12:38 PM

We guess this distinguishes those who say what to do, and those who do.; April 12, 2011 at 12:56 PM

The company estimated cost of that tax would be $335 million in the first year.

This will amount to our socialist Democrats once again being penny wise and pound foolish. Just like raising taxes on the rich and forcing them to flee the state, this is $335 million the state will never see because the company promises to decommission the reactor and lay off the thousands of employees.

Not only will you not collect the $335 million, you will pay about 3,000 employees unemployment benefits, and you will be forced to pay much higher electric rates by having to buy your power from out of state suppliers who will be free to charge a desperate state like Connecticut whatever they want for their power.

At the hands of socialist Democrats, it is like this state is being run by a bunch of 2 year old morons.; April 12, 2011 at 1:23 PM

After all, don't they deserve to be punished severely because of their evil profits?; April 12, 2011 at 5:09 PM
