📍at the polls. Six more hours to go!

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

Go vote, Connecticut! 🇺🇸🗳️

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@CTIronman The honest answer is because neither my party nor the other party (until two weeks before the election) in the legislature wanted to do it after the Governor called for it last March during the first week of the war.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

Or maybe just call on the leader of your own party to the end the war he started that’s doubled the price of gas in Connecticut?

Just a thought.

[WTNH News 8 @WTNH]

State Sen. Ryan Fazio’s running mate is calling for a temporary suspension of the state’s gas and diesel taxes as the Iran war continues to drive up the price of both fuels.

@CTIronman 42% of the assembly were republicans and independents and each proposal got at least 2/3 (many were 80+%).

I get you won’t see it this way, but outside of this website and hardcore politicos, the reality is most normal people look at ideas as right or wrong not left or right.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@iamme2283 Yes. Also, nice last name.

[Ned Lamont @NedLamont]

Ryan Fazio may say he stands for affordable health care, but his record says otherwise.

When Trump tried to cut health care, Fazio opposed efforts to make it more affordable for Connecticut families. @SeanScanlonCT

@CTIronman They themselves are! They voted at the start of this process for self governance (7 different citizens run the group each week).

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@CTIronman Nothing I'll say will change your mind but this process has solidified my belief that it's still possible for people with differing views to find common ground on tough issues. That's what might happen here. And if so, that is vox populi even if it isn't what you personally want.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@clownworld8419 Turned it around?

12th fastest growing economy in US last year

8 consecutive years of surplus

Full rainy day fund for the first time in history

11 billion pension debt paid down

Raised pension funded ratio from 30 to 60%

Lots of work left to do but really hard to deny ⬆️

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

I love Connecticut, and I’m running again because I want to be part of building a better future for this state I’m so proud to call home.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@ctrewes @YankeeInstitute Never lost it in the first place!

Let’s set the record straight:

Nothing is missing. Every taxpayer dollar is totally accounted for. We’re just having some disagreements with the auditors over how we itemize those funds, and I’m confident that will get sorted out before the next audit.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@AnneFM1776 Where it's always been: totally accounted for.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@Maripatone I’ve said we need to continue saving/paying off debt via the volatility cap but that we should adapt the formula so that we aren’t setting aside more non-volatile revenue than we need to.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

George Lombard Jr….

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@Maripatone Yes.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

@CTIronman If that was my intention, I would be up front about it. It's not.

[Sean Scanlon @SeanScanlonCT]

They’re being voted down because the underlying system of how we fund local services/education is fundamentally broken & unsustainable, and that broken system forces even the most financially sound towns into making false choices. A cap without structural reform will do the same.

[Ryan Fazio for Governor @ryanfazio]

🏠CAP THE PROPERTY TAX: Town budgets are being voted down in local referendums around the state as residents protest property tax increases.

In Colchester, where residents voted Tuesday in a second budget referendum after the first budget was voted down, I re-iterated my four-point plan to reform and CAP your property taxes for good.

Families and businesses are feeling the weight of the nation’s 3rd-highest property taxes and are standing up to demand leadership. When I am governor, we will start making Connecticut more affordable right away.
