CT Republicans: Connecticut is unaffordable.
*Presses NO button Thursday night on vote to making housing affordable for everyday people.*

Truth is, high-income residents aren’t fleeing CT over taxes. The data is clear: migration barely responds to tax changes, but revenue sure does.
Quality of life keeps people here.
