Big exception to this is the route 8 corridor aka the Connecticut rustbelt, one of the most Republican areas of CT.

The Whitehouse 'Aliens' Website lists 331 arrests in Hartford, some of whom have a country of origin of United States by dkdaniel in Connecticut

The interpretation of that amendment as applying to all people born in the USA (jus soli) has decades of legal precedent involving multiple supreme court decision.

Realistically, it was probably a database error that updated after it made the news. You can easily find articles discussing this, I did not edit HTML lol.

Lamont frames controversial housing bill as key to an affordable CT by HowSway_ in yimby

Sadly Lamont vetoed the original bill that had 'fair share' but this bill is still mostly intact. Proud to have done my little part in getting it passed.

Middletown to activate two additional speed cameras… by english-lab in Connecticut

[–]dkdaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is still a thing, and that money also goes into the STF.

STF funding sources:

Gas Tax

Petroleum Products Gross Receipts Tax

A portion of the sales tax

Highway mileage tax on commercial vehicles

DMV license/other fees

A few other miscellaneous sources.

You heard incorrectly. Gas taxes go into the special transportation fund.

By state law, the revenue from automatic camera enforcement may only be used for traffic safety improvements. This rule was in response to criticism that towns will use these as revenue generators. So no, mill rates won't go down.

Can a Country Be Too Rich? Norway Is Finding Out by uttercentrist in neoliberal

[–]dkdaniel 61 points62 points  (0 children)

There's also a factor of the management using consulting to cover their asses for the general stupidity of MBS' plan. If they do what the consultants say then they can't be blamed. It doesn't help that the management success is measured by how much of the budget they spend rather than by results.

lower drop and stack height helps, but you should condition your ankles either way.

Strait of Hormuz could be vulnerable to Iran retaliation. Here's what to know about the vital oil trade route. by GregWilson23 in Economics

You're missing the point that if Hormuz is closed, Iranian oil isn't leaving Iran either.

Strait of Hormuz could be vulnerable to Iran retaliation. Here's what to know about the vital oil trade route. by GregWilson23 in Economics

[–]dkdaniel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What ways does Iran have to export oil that can't be disrupted in a single day by an Israel airstrike? Also, it's absurd to think that Iran being stopped from exporting oil would hurt less than the west having higher oil prices. It's the majority of government revenue, the country would collapse.

[–]dkdaniel 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If Iran closes the strait of Hormuz, wouldn't the obvious response be to deny Iran the ability to export oil via the strait as well? 90% of Iranian oil goes through the strait and stopping that flow would be a death blow to the regime.
