As several Wallingford councilors opine, there’s plenty wrong with the way binding arbitration works, but some of the alternatives are pretty awful as well, witness Wisconsin. The process assumes a consistent upward momentum and prosperity, and it cannot be put into reverse, so continues like some juggernaut incapable of being halted and gathering speed all the time.
Students from Meriden's Wilcox Tech went to Hartford to testify against the folding in of vo-tech s schools into local school systems. The issue is not so much the folding as that of keeping the vo-tech schools’ salient differences from the town schools, admissions policies, behavior rules, etc.
Connecticut’s miserable performance on administering food stamps is a demonstration of how attrition of workers weakens state administration but also of how the inflexibility of employment contracts accelerates expenses.
Connecticut unemployment compensation is another aspect of state government based on continued upward movement. The combination of taxes and wage base rules assumes only brief downturns, and, like other issues, needs amendment.
Democrats in Meriden contemplating reasons for loss in Senate race. There are several possible scenarios, a combination of which were enough trouble to produce defeat from the jaws of victory.
