City Hall Source claims that the 130 Layoffs Will Never Happen as was predicted within our number one posting.
Now our common council President Pro-Tempore Michael Trueworthy, in a recent public statement, cited that he sees no increase in taxes with the layoffs being reduced through not replacing the 37 vacant slots and thirty additional Jobs through retirements that will not be replaced.
Other jobs could be saved through Union Concessions.
However, with the reduced workforce what will happen to the needed services for the city residents?
"That remains the question".

Important clarification to the following statement: "City Hall Source claims that the 130 Layoffs Will Never Happen as was predicted within our number one posting."
ReplyDeleteThe only source that would know this is the mayor. I doubt you spoke with him. Most importantly, his office NEVER said there WOULD BE 130 layoffs. They said there could be as many as 130.
OK Stewart offered many retirement incentives over the years, I think the well is dry on that one. And most of the vacancies and potential retirements are in the Police Dept. which will go untouched as they hire 37 new officers.
ReplyDeleteTrueworthy as a math expert (or an expert on anything for that matter leaves a lot to be desired)
The Taxation Problems of California & Connecticut ?
ReplyDelete“California,New York and Connecticut heavy on taxation and regulatory.”
“Connecticut continues its rapid decline and it’s getting ugly.”
“Connecticut could be the business-friendly refuge of NYC and New England, but instead taxes and regulates like the crown of Old England.”
“California and Connecticut have state governments that are simply too big, too intrusive and too anti-business.”
“Connecticut has continued to raise taxes and implement additional regulations the opposite of what is required to stimulate growth.
Lowered bond rating raises longer term risk of doing business in the state.”
