The below was sent as a response to Malloy's release on 4Q revenue:

State Senate Minority Leader John McKinney (R-Fairfield): "This is more proof that Governor Malloy's over reliance on tax increases was a failed approach to balancing the state budget in a responsible way.  When the largest tax increase in state history isn't enough to pay the bills, I hope everyone can agree that a significant reduction in the size and cost of government is in order."
