That's what businesses have to do in tough times, and it's about time government start acting like a business, especially when your tax base is decreasing. The union employees should be happy to be working, and need to share in the pain, afterall the Connecticut taxpayer is their employer, as are all those in government.

The anti-business enviroment that the Democrats have shown not only hurt small businesses but hurt the income potential of workers. Many small businesses that are on the edge of closing, will close, at that point more tax revenue disappears. The logic of this type of legislation, especially in this economic enviroment baffles me. I have had it with the attitude that business is bad. I agree. The anti-business enviroment that the Democrats have shown not only hurt small businesses but hurt the income potential of workers.

Antonowicz Thu, 12 Mar 2009 20:23:01 +0000 http://repcafero.com/?p=519#comment-111 This action by Democratic lawmakers against the Catholic sets a dangerous precedent that is both unconstitutional and an abuse of legislative power. They should know better than this, and the reasons for their attempt to punish only the Catholic Church is obvious, because of their activist backgrounds for a special interest. If passed, this would give the precedent that the government would have the right to go into any organization in the country for any arbitrary reason. These men should be severely reprimanded, and hopefully voted out. This is not Venezuela.

It is a clear violation of the First Amendment, Separation of Church and State. It is also a specific attack on the Roman Catholic Church, which would not end there. Next it will be all religious denominations. The bill that is proposed is what happens in Communist countries, not the United States of America!!! Sir,
