I don’t understand why this would be a matter for law. If an insurance company wants to change more for something why can they, assuming it doesn’t involve a protected class (which this doesn’t).

It was suspended leading up to the November elections, now it's coming back. We can't win here. Gas is going up in price 25 cents a gallon, and our electric rates are the highest around and are going up again soon. You're either giving all your money for transportation and heating to an oil company, or eversource, just like intended.

If this keeps up, we will all soon live in corporate owned rental housing, taking out loans to pay our rent and utilities. Banks and big companies always win, we the people are just crops to harvest cash from.

The gas tax roll-back was intended to ease a potentially-massive energy spike due to a world war breakout in Eastern Europe a year ago.

That war is on a slow burn and will definitely get worse. Now state is hedging their bets as to gently taking back those tax cuts or leaving them.

Encourage your legislators to keep the tax cuts! This a tax cut for everyone, includes free bus fare. State coffers are doing just fine without it and it’s one less thing to showcase about this state being outrageously expensive.

$550?!

This is why, tenants attack landlords some people would become really triggered by such an increase.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. You’re absolutely right. Insurance companies are the best bean counters in the world and if pit bulls were actually costing them money there is a 100% chance they could show it.

Well that ties into the education, but you value cheap over everything apparently, so that's going to limit you.

There is 3 ways this works.

Breed based, they go off some questionable basis and people pay more for those.

Training based, they go off real information and we get better trained dogs. Line info also helps. So a well trained animal from a line well behaved animals is cheaper. This is good for all of us.

Breed blind, responsible dog owners pay for irresponsible ones.

I would go with training maybe a mix, if you have a questionable breed you can send it off to a qualified trainer (with insurance and licensing) for intensive training to pay less. Making things breed blind does not encourage people to get real dog training thats required to make good dogs. I'll trust a pitbull thats passed through a few months of in kennel schutzhund training over somebody's little fluffykins purse dog any day. Split the difference and if it can pass the testing even.

"You stupid shithead...now gimmie the jack"

If you lived in New Haven, you’d soon realize that Yale is the primary reason why New Haven has a difficult time developing. It’s kind of hard to do much when you’re shorted on 60% of your property tax revenue every year. And very few ppl from Yale stay in NH after graduating, so it’s not like the city gains from having the school there in the form of innovation/investment/workforce. Yale isn’t for locals.

2nd highest taxed state in the Union. Socialist democrats love their taxes.

The only part I don't love is the bible thumpers and their reaction to Roe.

Maybe they're just not a fan of the entire central time zone.

I want a license plate that just says 🍆💦🍑

Yeah higher crime rates, way worse schools, lower income. What's not to love?

I am led to once again ask in 24 hours: what the hell is going wrong up there in Maine lately?

It’s funny amongst friends and social media, but professional comics? That’s kinda cheap. Maybe one or two quick jabs but like… write a real set.

I don’t mind ct sucks jokes as long as it’s good.

There is a vote this year to cap rent increase within ct by 2.5%

Follow Connecticut Democratic Socialists of America on FB for more information!!!

If it weren't for the hurricanes and humidity, Alabama would be a dream place to live compared to CT.

You haven't had an increase in 5 years and you're surprised by this?

We're most likely to ignore you, and curse you out when driving.

I think this is the easiest summary I can give

Breaking: better places are more expensive.

If you want cheap, you're free to move to some shithole like Alabama. Just go.

I for one think it's funny. Then again I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this state, your opinions may differ.

They misspelled MA!

I think you'd be just fine, for all the reasons listed by my peers. Are there racist/homophobic people in CT? Absolutely. But I'd say probably fewer than where you're coming from, and they're also probably quieter. People tend to just mind their own business here. If I might make a recommendation though, check out Middletown. It's got a fun/funky Main Street and is very LGBTQI friendly. They host a big Pride parade every June!
