In the context of the tax increase just enacted by the governor and the General Assembly, the biggest in the state’s history, trumping the one imposed with the state income tax in 1991, the concessions agreement is almost insulting. While the governor has been prattling about “shared sacrifice,” the agreement contains nothing that private-sector workers, suffering mightily in hard times, would recognize as sacrifice. Indeed, having been given to understand that state employees would be made to give something back, private-sector workers now have a right to feel badly misled, even betrayed.; May 26, 2011 at 1:21 PM
