Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 3370389, member: 6158"] Possibly. But Stamford grew up as a refuge from NYC by Corporations which wanted the proximity to the City without all the costs and taxes. This was particularly true of Corporate Headquarters. Ct at the time offered a more favorable tax arrangement for both Federal and State taxes and at the time (Pre Weicker) CT had no income tax for individuals. Of course our illustrious state is now seeing such Corporations as GE leave Stamford for the more attractive environment of tech center Ma. Where else but CT would a city (Hartford) get a 20 year legislated budgeted handout of $50 million per year for "education." Redistributing the wealth at the expense of cities who were expecting to recover excess taxes paid in. You can't make this stuff up. I doubt this has been done anywhere in US tax history. [/QUOTE]
