"By any measure, Connecticut has one of the worst property tax burdens in the nation, routinely much higher than national average. With a state income tax that hits lower- and middle-income wage earners the hardest, over-reliance on property taxes adds immensely to the overall unfairness of tax burdens in our state. Property taxes perversely undercut "smart growth," drive expensive sprawl and foment no-win competition for development among cities and towns." - Kevin Sullivan ... Kevin Sullivan,

He ran as a Republican ... Now he's a Democrat ... Yawn ... It's the same old Barbara Carpenter/Joe Verrengia escapade ... His run last fall, as well as the time before that, on the Republican ticket was essentially a lie ... Why should anyone be surprised that Davidoff has finally come out of his political closet?
