• W3991528 abstract "Since his election in 2010, Democratic Governor Dan Malloy has been dedicated to implementing his vision for a new Connecticut. This vision includes a balanced budget, an increase in the number of businesses opening or relocating in the state, and significant education reforms. Realizing these changes requires collaboration with the Democratic majorities in the state legislature and the support of his governing coalition.Malloy' s ascent came as a result of support from urban voters and unions. The former tend to have fewer complaints about their influence in the political system. Malloy' s commitment to improving urban schools resonates with these constituents, who have been pleased with his service. In contrast, Malloy' s willingness to reduce benefits for state employees and his recommendation of eliminating teacher tenure have enraged much of his union base. The great challenge for Malloy will be to usher the state toward a position of fiscal strength, job opportunities, and strong schools that produce a welleducated workforce - all while remaining on good terms with those who determine his ability to do so.Although much of this report examines the Malloy Administration's vision for the state, I also include an update on an exciting US House and Senate race and discussion of some additional policies enacted this year including a repeal of the death penalty, Sunday liquor sales, medical marijuana, and election day registration.Fiscal VisionWhen Malloy entered office he faced a projected 3.44 billion dollar budget deficit. Although Malloy remained committed to the terms of his executive order requiring the state to transition to generally accepted accounting principles, he was unable to raise adequate funds to make the transition.1 The State Comptroller recently projected the state's budget deficit at $66.9 million, with a shortfall for meeting the GAAP requirements of $142 million (Phaneuf 2012). Malloy's efforts to close this gap included a number of revenue-raising initiatives. In the past year alone, Malloy engaged in a strained negation with state employees to reduce their benefits, levied a series of new taxes on services, and increased Connecticut's sales, income, and cigarette taxes. In addition, the governor attracted companies to Connecticut by offering tax incentives and development funds in exchange for relocating to the state. Malloy's deal was enough to entice Jackson Laboratory to move from Maine to the UConn Health Center in Farmington, creating an estimated 6,800 permanent new jobs for Connecticut residents and improving the state's stake in the bioscience industry in the process (Malloy 2012 b).Education VisionIn addition to Malloy's bold economic initiatives, he has introduced a controversial set of education reforms. The Governor appointed Stefan Pryor as the new State Commissioner of Education in February 2012. Pryor was formerly Deputy Mayor for Economic Development in Newark and is working to enact Malloy's six goals of reform. The goals are to:1) Enhance families' access to high-quality early childhood education opportunities.2) Authorize the intensive interventions and enable the supports necessary to turn around Connecticut's lowest-performing schools and districts.3) Expand the availability of high-quality school models, including traditional schools, magnets, charters, and others.4) Unleash innovation by removing red tape and other barriers to success, especially in high- performing schools and districts.5) Ensure that our schools are home to the very best teachers and principals - working within a fair system that values their skill and effectiveness over seniority and tenure.6) Deliver more resources, targeted to districts with the greatest need - provided that they embrace key reforms that position our students for success.(Malloy2012a)The fifth aim has received the most scrutiny and has forced Malloy to clarify his message. …" @default.
