Connecticut consistently in the red, according to study by Pew
Connecticut spent more money than it took in for 10 out of 13 years, according to a long-term state analysis by Pew Charitable Trusts. Overall, Connecticut was one of only eleven states that were consistently in the red because they “carried forward deferred costs of past services, including debt and unfunded public employee retirement liabilities, which could constrain their future fiscal options,” the report said.
