To many, 2017 might be remembered as a year in which there never seemed to be money. If you live in Connecticut, you couldn’t escape the never-ending and mind-numbing state budget crisis. The megabucks shortfall started at $5 billion, but was whittled down to $3.5 billion thanks to a deal with state unions, and finally hacked back in a historically late deal four months after the start of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, municipal officials from Greenwich to Pomfret were complaining that they had no clue on how much revenue-sharing money that they’d be getting — something they needed to know in order to prepare their 2017-18 fiscal-year budgets. Every week seemed to bring a new proposed state budget with a new revenue-sharing formula.
