If you believe this threat to lay off 4700 by comrade Dan, I have some oceanfront property in Oklahoma to sell you.

I'll give you a good deal, I promise!

LAWSUIT ASSERTING STATE BUDGET IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

State Sen. Len Suzio, a Republican from Meriden, noted that, as a freshman, this is the first time he's had the chance to take a stand. "I'm a brand new face up here...so I haven't yet been jaded by the process,'' he said.

Suzio notes that he has a background in accounting and finance--"I know a real budget when I see one and this is no real budget. It's a phony budget dressed up in gimmicks.''

The reliance on such gimmickry is all the more troubling because Malloy pledged to submit an honest budget, Suzio said. "This is a governor who promised to swear off gimmicks in the budget. He's employing the biggest gimmick ever used... in Connecticut."

Suzio and state Rep. Christopher Coutu, a Republican from Norwich, are both plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which is expected to be filed in Hartford Superior Court.

Scott said more legislators, as well as state employees and small business owners, will join the lawsuit early next week. Suzio said he expects the entire Republican caucus in the state Senate to sign on as plaintiffs.

Granny Wyman appeared on Face the State today and said we clearly can't fix the budget cuts through spending cuts, so the only option available is tax increases, but why can't we cut spending Granny?
