CT taxes of all kinds have gone up or stayed static during the 20 years since the casinos went up. I do not own a business but that is where CT's taxes truly crush people's souls. No taxes that I know of have gone down in my adult life. We are the 2nd-most taxed state in the union, topped only by our fellow paradise, Hawaii.

Please note, it is largely blue states now pushing casinos as a source of revenue, mostly to offset huge pension and personnel costs for their massive, elite class of state workers.

Cheers!
