FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, (Hartford, CT) -“The governor's plan lacks both boldness and imagination. There are many strategies adopted in other states that could produce dramatic savings -- paying high school students to graduate early, identifying waste in Medicaid, using work-release programs to produce prison reform -- which she completely neglects. Instead, she to spend millions on a Connecticut version of Roosevelt's discredited WPA make-work program. This is a plan that puts already comfortable public employees ahead of distressed taxpayers,” says  Yankee Institute’s Senior Policy Analyst, Lewis M. Andrews, Ph.D.
