It was the first time in recent memory anyone could recall a governor attending an Appropriations Committee public hearing. Malloy stayed for about an hour and heard a dozen of residents speak about how the budget cuts would potentially impact their quality of life.
One of the residents he heard was Amanda Sage of Monroe, who talked about how Bridge House in Bridgeport helped her find employment and finish her education so she could become a pharmacy technician. She encouraged the Appropriations Committee to continue funding the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, which in turn funds Bridge House. She said without state funding the program that helped save her life wouldn't exist. "The money you spend really does save people,"Sage, who struggles with bipolar disorder, said.
The estimated cut to the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services is about $71 million. Jeffrey Walters, interim CEO of the Connecticut Community Nonprofit Alliance, said he's glad the governor was in the room listening to the impact his budget would have on people. He said the state could learn a few things about how to stretch a dollar from the nonprofit community. But that dollar doesn't go as far as it used to.
Heather Gates, president and CEO of Community Health Resources, said Malloy's budget will require her organization to end some services it offers to some of the neediest Connecticut residents. "If we close programs as a result of this budget and make no mistake we will, they will have nowhere else to turn for help," Gates said.
She said last year the Appropriations Committee "courageously" restored funding for outpatient substance abuse treatment and helped push through a Medicaid rate increase for behavioral health services. That helped avoid any disruption to outpatient health services in many locations throughout the state.
"But here we are again with a proposed budget that is far worse than the one presented last year," Gates said. "The human service sector would shoulder almost 72 percent of the proposed cuts. That means the most vulnerable citizens of the state are being asked to shoulder the impact of these cuts. That is just not acceptable." She said high deductibles and products offered through the health insurance exchange don't always cover needed mental health and substance abuse services.
The cut to Gates' organization alone is $4.3 million and would require her to layoff about 70 staff members, which is a 10 percent reduction of the workforce and they would close one or more of their outpatient clinics and some programs. However, it's difficult to say what will be cut given the consolidation of the line items in each agency's' budget.
Causing angst among lawmakers and members of the public is the way in which Malloy presented his budget this year. Instead of proposing a budget that funds specific line items in each state agency, Malloy proposed a budget that consolidates most of them and gives the commissioner of that agency the power to use the money as they see fit.
He said just because some lawmaker was able to get something into the budget years ago the legislature's nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis continues to count it as if it's going to be funded and then gets to say the state is running a potential deficit in future budget years.
"I think we need to modernize the system," Malloy said.
Lawmakers are still debating whether they want to adopt Malloy's new way of budgeting because it takes away some of the power over the state's purse strings, at the same time it means they won't have to deal with as much during an election year.
During his radio interview, the governor also warned lawmakers that "we're not going to spend more money," than the state brings in. "If you insist on budgeting differently then rebuild the budget you want, but understand that we're not going to spend more money," Malloy said.

The Hate Game
Kampfing it up
I posted a screen shot on Twitter last night, showing a bit of Hitler fandom in a private (you have to join to see the content) Facebook group called 'Just Socialism the Corbyn Way'. On Twitter, there were many horrified reactions to the screen shot – although not at all in the Facebook group – and, so far, no one has attempted to excuse it. I did wonder how one might make a case for excusing it, and thought the strongest argument would be that all groups, however well-meaning, tend to include the odd disgusting comment, posted by supporters with poor judgment.
Anti Zionists make capital out of bigoted statements from the Israeli far right , posting the quotes on their forums to elicit rage and contempt, and a common response is to complain of Jewish chutzpah in opposing antisemitism when '…look what they're doing to the Palestinians.'
Seek and ye shall find. Thus a Corbyn apologist may complain that I look for left antisemitism and find it, by stalking their social media which obviously isn't perfect because, as Osgood Fielding III said in Some Like It Hot, nobody's perfect. The prominence of antisemitism on the Corbynist left is still hotly denied by all who sail in it.
Meanwhile I, the stalker, am so accustomed to seeing extreme antisemitism, unopposed by admins or comrades, permitted on social media platforms, that I am not surprised when I see kindly references to Hitler from the self-styled Left.
The screen shots below show some of the comments I have seen. My stalking is not so thorough that I see all the Der Stürmer tribute acts of the Corbynist (sometimes also Provisional IRA) forums. Perhaps I should call it neo-neo-nazism [sic] because it is bespoke for the 21st century, for the left and for enemies of Israel. Some of this material is produced by Iranian sources, or Hamas or Hezbollah, some from Pakistan and I see it only because it filters through to groups with British or Irish administrators.
To fight it, we need to know it's there.
If I were finding excuses, I say that Roderic, for example, doesn't mean what he says or understand what he says. That's quite possible, even quite likely. Some of these forums attract ordinary, left-leaning people, especially elderly people and get them high on hyperbole and passionate intensity, until they're all in the Kampf together.

I could say they're all nuts, but then I'm just a lying bastid.
