@sceastwood He raises a valid concern.

@GinnyMonk @CTMirror How old can the children be?

@dauphinb I think you’re one in 7.753 billion!

@AlexandraErin I’m just grateful these temperature scales are different enough that when referring to everyday temperatures you know immediately which scale is being used even if it isn’t specified.

@hippousmc That’s part of the plan!

@Supreme____Beef @FrankGuilfoyle @PatrickSasser5 For employees hired after 7/1/17, overtime is averaged over 25 years. Working a lot of overtime at the end of your career won’t increase your pension much. Connecticut has cut over 13,000 employees since 2008, so a little overtime is to be expected.

@hippousmc Currently, Connecticut is phasing out the state income tax for pension and annuity income for singles with less than $75,000 income and couples with $100,000. I’m trying to get the tax exemption for couples with up to $150,000 in income.

@Supreme____Beef @FrankGuilfoyle @PatrickSasser5 The pensions have been refinanced with level payments for 30+ years into the future until the unfounded liability is gone. It’s done, no additional revenue required.

@CTMirrorKeith That’s because Connecticut’s Objective Job Evaluation (O-J-E) was designed to eliminate gender disparities in pay for “female-dominated” job classes.

@alexplitsas @hartfordcourant @chrispkeating Waitstaff received no benefit from the minimum wage bill. Their $6.38/hr wage is permanent. Waitstaff is only paid minimum wage ($10.10/hr) when they can’t make tips (i.e. cleaning before restaurant opens).

If you believe in open government, this is pretty sad. Public records belong to the public and the cost of storing them is what municipal budgets are for. They’re not a revenue stream.

I hope Rep. Winkler's efforts become law. Imposing fees on taxpayers using their own cellphones to record public records is absurd.

My office doesn't charge for info and -- for what it's worth ($20, I guess) -- putting data online = more staff resources & fewer FOI requests.

@MrChrisSoto @NedLamont Well done!

@ctorganizer At CT Water’s new plant opening yesterday, Connecticut Water Planning Council Chair John Betkoski said the state water plan would be given to the legislature in January.

Thinking of how all Democrats might win!

Hydropower is the best, and we have one of the best "mill streams" in Connecticut.
