<title>[NEWS] Malloy ordered emergency budget cuts</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26868792</link>
<description><![CDATA[We all knew (well except Kommie) that the budget cuts Malloy implemented in the last billing cycle weren't going to work. Mostly as the cuts on civil servants weren't cuts at all.

Malloy is has ordered emergency cuts to cover some of the states budget shortfall. - http://www.ctnewsjunkie.com/ctnj.php/archives/entry/malloy_cuts_about_79_million_in_spending

While Mr. Malloy is doing this, he passed an order making private home health care workers state employees for purposes of unionization. Not certain, but the order may also cover day care providers.

We live in an amazing state.

<title>[RANT] Where is winter?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26862793</link>
<description><![CDATA[Man, renting a room CAN suck sometimes.  

Up until last month landlord kept the heat turned off (to below 50 degrees) and made me keep a fire going, which left my room in the other side of the house at about 55 degrees.  Now we are out of wood, we used up 3 cords almost.  And now he has the heat way up and in my room it is now in the high 80's even with a window open.  My eyes are burning.

I wish real winter would come so I could cool down for just a month.

Those of you that own homes, God bless you all.  

It sucks when I can't sleep and have to get up and go out job hunting in no car with no sleep due to the heat.

I see a lot of complaining in this forum, but I don't see people having real problems, try living on 600 bucks after rent, going out begging for work, losing everything you own, and facing homelessness for a third time.  Go ahead, complain about your sacred taxes, you guys have it SOOO bad.

<title>[RANT] Network TV is out of control</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26823269</link>
<description><![CDATA[NBC's Fear Factor that is to air Monday has a stunt that goes beyond poor judgment.

http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/26/fear-factor-donkey-semen-stunt-nbc/

I have written NBC30 asking them what is the matter with them that they air stuff like this which is just wrong on all counts.

<title>[POLITICS] Biggest tax increase in state history, but still in t</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26815098</link>
<description><![CDATA[Great job Dan!:

"After passing the largest tax increase in state history, Democrats have still managed to spend us into deficit," McKinney said Wednesday.

"Among other things," he said, "today's projections confirm that the labor deal Governor Malloy cut with state employee unions will not yield the savings he promised taxpayers. Now Governor Malloy has a $145 million budget hole -- $220 million if he intends to keep his promise to comply with GAAP -- and only $32 million worth of ideas to fill it.

"His math simply doesn't add up," McKinney said. "It's time to go back to the table and discuss real spending reductions to protect Connecticut's economic future."

State budget plunges into the red with promised savings in question]]></description>

<title>[RANT] AT&#x26;amp;T blowing smoke ...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26807465</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just got this email from AT&T which included the following paragraph:

Recently, we&#146;ve added more voice and data capacity to 387 cell sites in Connecticut. We&#146;ve also built more than 8 new cell sites while expanding the mobile broadband network by enhancing more than 7 cell sites, increasing the number of radio frequencies that can connect to our network.


What's with the "more than 8 new cell sites" and "more than 7" enhanced sites?  Don't they know how many?  Is it 9 or 10 or ?? Maybe 8.5?

I don't know what they are trying to pull here.
