The Norwich Bulletin has a good editorial on the reality of Connecticut’s fiscal situation and the need for real, substantitive solutions. Business confidence (read: present and future jobs) is waning, and one of the biggest factors chipping away at that confidence is, as the editorial says, “the uncertainty of what the state might do — or not do” in the budget crisis. Consistency and predictabiliy go a long way to help businesses plan, grow and envision their futures in Connecticut. Grasping at state budgetary straws on a yearly basis doesn’t allow businesses, or our economy, to fully develop. Responsible state budgeting and strategic tax policy will build the path to economic recovery and job growth.
