Dan Haar: Happy New Year! Can we now use the R-word for Connecticut?

Connecticut divides neatly into two constantly bickering groups, the bashers and the boosters. We get along fine but as another year closes, the bashers might have a very dangerous word in their arsenal — and it starts with the letter ‘R.’ We all know the sides: Bashers say Connecticut’s taxes are too high, people are leaving by the tens of thousands, we can’t balance a state budget, business can’t grow. And the big point — we haven’t added jobs in decades. But look, the boosters say, we have the best schools, low crime and poverty rates, great health and technology scores, the highest average income and an ease of living in close proximity to everything. Both sides trot out plenty of those silly national Top 10 lists.
