Is Gov. Malloy fit to govern?

by Craig Hoffman August 27, 2015 @ 5:29 amMarch 4, 2022 @ 11:47 pm

So Gov. Dannel “Giveaway” Malloy is offering “incentives” to keep General Electric’s 800 corporate employees here. How nice. This is an affront to all the other businesses in the state that have to keep paying high taxes and get no relief at all from the state.
