Lamont should do a lot of things, but he doesn't. He does not listen to the people of Connecticut, he does what he wants, when he wants.
This will NEVER be financially feasible for the state. 0.5% of payroll (not including state employees) for a year to build up the reserve isn't enough. Next year watch all the people taking advantage-will always be in the negative. And all the small businesses getting crushed by hiring temps to fill in or overtime premiums. THE MOST RIDICULOUS legislation that they crammed through. Cancel this and the remaining min wage increases. Those are just to increase the state union wages index for them to get more moola. Rome is burning and Emperor is naked. Time to stop playing your fiddle Nerd Lament.
Also if u need to take FMLA say, in February are u covered. Or do u have to wait for months before it comes into effect. Too many unanswered questions. Who is taking control of the money? Probably will be spent elsewhere. That what the CT politicians do. Then they will say there is no money for FMLA. Not a good time or a good govt program. Anything the govt handles goes to ruin
I wonder how much of this will get 'diverted' to other projects. I hope no one says 'lockbox.'
About time you are trying to do something on the POS theft program.
Republicans, Work it for us. Actions speak louder than words.
What happens to the money I’m force to pay. If I pay into this and never use it and decide to leave CT, do I get to take what I put in with me.
It could easily turn into another Social Security dilemma, where it's largely unsustainable.
Government programs aren't possible unless funded by the taxpayers. Almost every program is permanent ("Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program." — Milton Friedman), and yet, more and more taxes and programs are placed onto the backs of people living in Connecticut.
I understand the appeal of, and “good intentions” behind, this fund; However, so many left leaning policies commit overreach, or are simply unviable.
Republicans: always start squawking after the kill.
Which agency will be the watchdog to ensure these funds are not suddenly transferred to the General Fund?
BANKRUPTCY is coming soon

This is exactly why President Trump and the Republicans do not want a Covid relief bill that includes a bailout for these Democratic run states.
The Democrats are using Covid as an argument for a bailout, but it’s not about Covid it’s about these pensions and the other social services that simply can’t be funded. Get rid of pensions, or put an age cap on them. Why should taxpayers have to pay social security tax and then pay other taxes that go to funding these pensions when people retire.
Great article – thanks for sharing.
If Connecticut were business friendly, this would be less of an issue, but noooooooooo
THE TEACHERS UNION IS GOING TO RULE THE COUNTRY IF IT IS NOT BROKEN APART! !!
