It's one inmate Michael. What could it cost, ten dollars?

Why does all the cool stuff have to come to Canton 20 years after I grew up there

Again though that's only registration and title fees. It says right there that they're not including all fees a state might assess.

>Researchers said they found that 73 percent of Americans believe the government does not spend their tax dollars wisely. So, they compared the 50 states with three components of state tax burden, including property taxes, individual income taxes, and sales and excise taxes, all as a share of personal income.

So they're leaving out any kind of fee the state charges for something? A yearly registration fee in lots of other states would be roughly equivalent to the property tax charged on a car here. Why not look at all sources of state and local revenue unless you're trying to skew the results to favor fees over taxes?

I dunno about extortion, but the DMV renewal part is a huge pain in the ass. I lived in Middletown for a few years and they apparently split the city into 3 fire districts. If you live downtown your property tax pays for your fire tax bill. If you live in the outskirts you live in a separate fire tax district.

I went to renew my registration and they were like "I'm sorry, you owe $12 to the Westfield Fire District, you can't renew". Took a week to pay and have the debt cleared from the system, huge pain in the ass.

Sports stadiums are in no way comparable to infrastructure lmao

I think your HR is confusing Federal FMLA laws with Connecticut's Paid Leave program. The latter both protects your job and pays you. You only have to meet the worked-income eligibility requirement have worked for a covered employer anytime in the last 12 weeks

https://ctpaidleave.org/s/employee-landing-page

>Covered employees in Connecticut are eligible for benefits under the CT Paid Leave program if:

>- they have earned wages from a covered employer of at least $2,325 in the highest quarter of the first four of the five most recently completed quarters;

> and they are either:

>- currently employed by a covered employer,

>- or have been employed by a covered employer within the last 12 weeks,

>- or a self-employed person or a sole proprietor who is a Connecticut resident and has enrolled in the program.

They should be looking for guidance around CTPL, not FMLA

>A public hearing will be held Tuesday in the state legislature on a proposed bill to set up a system to temporarily take over apartment complexes whose owners defy state and local health and fire codes. > HB 6784, “An Act Concerning Noncompliant Landlords,” was introduced in the Insurance and Real Estate Committee by Rep. Kerry Wood, who represents Rocky Hill and Wethersfield. > Wood said the bill was inspired by complaints by tenants of Concierge Apartments in Rocky Hill, which is just around the corner from her own home. She said for years, resident complaints about crumbling conditions have been ignored by management. > “This once-beautiful property ... has been turned into one of most horrific places a person can live,” Wood said. “These owners have no regard for their tenants or the community.” > She said she has heard complaints on other complexes statewide. > “Rocky Hill is not alone. Echoes of similar stories are haunting towns and cities across the state. Legal recourse can take years and in the meantime, tenants are put in danger,” Wood said. > > According to Wood’s bill, “Upon receipt of not less than twelve claimed violations in any one calendar year submitted by tenants of the same rental housing property development, such local code enforcement officer may report such rental housing property development to the Attorney General who may submit an application for a private receivership in the superior court.” > Wood said once a receivership is established, it would last as long as it took to fix the problems at the complex. > “The receiver comes in and takes control of collecting rents. Within a month, rental income would be used to rehab the building,” Wood said. “It may take a month. It may take six months. Once the rental collection comes in, it goes right back into fixing the problem. Once it is fixed, receivership can go back to owner.”

One of your first priorities will need to be a car in eastern Connecticut. If you live close to the center of a town, like Willimantic and Rockville (they're downtown sections within larger towns, you'll get used to it), you'll likely be able to find a bus route to UConn. But overall the public transport network is very lacking if you're used to European standards, especially so in the eastern half of the state because it's more rural.

Busses are free right now so if you're willing to spend the time it's a way to save money very easily. $78,000 is doable for a couple in the area

Should've happened years ago. The complex owners have been allowed to get away with letting the buildings rot for years now, all while masquerading as luxury apartments they expect $1500+/mo for

That one moved to Newington's square where Goldburgers is, they've also got a location in Glastonbury that's not too far

I thought the problem was there were already too many people on buds, man

I hate being made wrong by the march of time.

Thanks for the link!

You live in the country they secured and enjoy rights they fought for and added to our Constitution. Go spit on their graves while you're at it.

Might have just taken it down for cleaning/refurbishment? I literally can't find a single shred of news on it. Try DMing the team's account on Twitter or Facebook, their social media team is pretty active

It's a couple rooms in a small town hall that was originally built by Civil War vets. The value of that building alone is enough for the town to keep up the museum until they need a new one.

And even if it wasn't you're really too cheap for a town hall museum?

I'm sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. The gift tax exemption is not $10k, that's the point you have to fill out a form telling the IRS about the gift.

You have a lifetime gift exemption of $12.06 million. The first twelve million dollars you give away is tax-free. Recipients (almost) never pay tax on what they get, it's a tax on the gifter.

Estate tax is also a cool $12.06 million dollars. No working person is ever hitting either of these limits. Conservative news goes on and on about the death and gift taxes because they want working people to be mad about taxes that will only ever hit the extraordinarily wealthy.

Nah he's talking about cromulent, it's a made-up word from the Simpsons used to show how weird their town is/poke fun at regional vocab. Saying something is 'perfectly cromulent' is acknowledging it's recently made up, but that it's useful

They are, but that usually comes down to their design. If you've got a wide street with no curves and stoplights every couple thousand feet, but it's completely lined with businesses and apartments, then tossing down a 25mph sign isn't going to get people to drive 25mph. The street needs to be designed so that people don't feel safe driving 40mph on it.

Narrowing a street is usually the easiest way to do it. If you're worried you don't have enough room to get around that car parked on the side of the street, you're going to slow down.

It comes from the concept that a road and a street are actually two different things. A road connects two places and allows high speed traffic, a street is a place businesses and homes are. You want people to drive slowly on a street because people are walking and biking around between homes and businesses

When a street also becomes a place that people drive fast on, it becomes hostile to pedestrian and cyclist traffic but its density also stops it from effectively carrying all the traffic that wants to drive through it like it's a road. It sucks at being both a road and a street. So it's now a stroad. All words are made up and sometimes we need new ones. It's a perfectly cromulent word

They'll just think you're from a cowtown in the NW or NE corner of the state. Don't worry about it

If you really want, get a straw hat

Just one more lane bro, I swear we're gonna fix traffic just one more lane

Thanks for the insight!

I understand it doesn't mean it's proof there's no difference between the two situations, but I feel insurance companies should have to show their work to treat people differently. It feels like it'd be too easy for them to overestimate their risk and lock classes of people out of the market. But obviously I'm not in the industry, I'm just skeptical

I want however much data it takes for an actuary to put their license on the line and say "This costs our company more"

Then why can't the insurance companies show that it costs them more money?

That's all I want them to do. If they want more money from people that own pitbulls, they should be able to show that pitbulls cost them more money. According to that State Representative in the article, they can't do that.

Insurance isn't a game of "I charge what I want". They use actuarial science, which might as well be magic to me, to determine what to charge. If that process can't show that pitbulls cost insurance companies more, then they shouldn't get to charge more.
