After viewing Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposed budget, I have the following question: Why is it that balancing the budget, reducing spending and government waste, and addressing the tax system inequities are only for the election campaigns?
Upon achieving office, politicians seem to develop amnesia or avoid carrying out such promises due to a "changing environment" or some other hooey. Gov. Malloy spent the first portion of his term ranting against spending and waste, and blaming the unions, and now he has apparently concluded that he has a mandate to spend and borrow.
