We will continue to look for greater efficiencies and creative partnerships that will provide cutting edge resources to state government, and new ways to deliver services to the taxpayers of our state. The use of new technology means new opportunities. Let's lead the nation, rather than follow. More people are earning higher wages. More families are calling Connecticut home.
Fewer people are on welfare.
More Connecticut high school students are choosing to attend college here at home. And more businesses are taking advantage of all Connecticut's economy has to offer. There is a new spirit here in Connecticut. A new optimism. To do so we must have the vision to look beyond the status quo.
