Connecticut Chooses to Cut Jobs Over Increased Taxes in Budget Crisis
Starting with a wave of layoffs last Monday, and despite union advertising, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has focused on trimming overhead as taxable personal income has declined.If the shortfall is short term, borrow.
If it is long term the choice is tax or cut.
Cutting essential services is destructive.
Taxing high incomes drives off leaches the state is better off without.
People who need the skills of the state will remain.

Sex Abuse and the Catholic Church: Why Is It Still a Story?
The national religion correspondent Laurie Goodstein provides insight into her recent reporting on grand jury revelations about a Pennsylvania diocese.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/05/us/pennsylvania-clergy-sex-abuse.html
I don't want to know these stories.
I don't see how I can avoid knowing.
Punishment will not stop the abuse.
Prisons have an abrupt way with "short eyes".
They die soon.
A cassock does not change a monster.
No cloth covering changes a monster.
Can a "monster" change itself?
Can a "monster" change?
Gay is only gay.
It does not change.
I have no answer.
