Connecticut Is Leaving the Welcome Mat Out

null Jan. 8, 2024 3:37 pm ET Photo: Getty Images/iStockphotoYour editorial “The Great U.S. Migration Continues” (Dec. 23) is more wrong than right as it applies to Connecticut. It posits that blue states are hemorrhaging population due to higher taxes, more regulation and expensive housing. That’s not true in Connecticut. In fact, our state is gaining population, with tens of thousands of young families having moved here over the past few years. Republican orthodoxy says our migration is all about taxes. We recently enacted the largest tax cut in state history, eliminating the income tax for most working families and taxes on pensions for most seniors. Democratic orthodoxy argues that families are moving to Connecticut because we are a family friendly state, with paid-family leave, expanded daycare and one of the country's best education systems.Copyright ©2024 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
