One major issue that
has caused the financial destruction of Connecticut is that our
Elected Public Servants have forgotten that they are Servants not
Rulers.
Our Elected Public
Servants do not feel they answer to us but rather that we answer to
them. This is very apparent when it comes to spending our, the
taxpayers money on contracts. If we want to make Connecticut Great
Again we need to have total control over the spending done by our
elected public servants. As each one of us knows in our personal
finances we can not spend more then we make. We can not run
ourselves into debt and demand our employers pay us more to get us
out of debt. Why should our public servants be able to do that? Why
should they be able to treat the taxpaying citizens of Connecticut as
an unlimited ATM with no concern of what it does to our personal
finances and lives? Enough is enough!
Why are most if not
all negotiations held behind closed doors! The only dealings the
government should be doing behind closed doors is if directly relates
to security. Security of the citizens. This means how we are being
protected from terrorist threats, or how they hunt down child
molesters, drug dealers. These things need to be kept secret.
Every contract that
is entered into by the government be it for paper clips or rebuilding
roads and buildings needs to be put out for open bid and all those
bids and negotiations need to be open to the public and the media.
This goes the same for all contracts for all unions and all other
personnel hired by and employed by the citizens of Connecticut. No
closed door deals! Everything out in the open for the public and
media to view and report on. This back door dealing, you scratch my
back I'll scratch yours is what has destroyed Connecticut! We need
to replace all the elected public servants in Hartford with people
who will make the Taxpaying Legal Citizens of Connecticut their
priority, not the unions and the corporations that have bled
Connecticut dry.
