These excerpts from the attached 4/18/19 CT.

Howard Sitzer at CreditSights, said Connecticut is moving slowly in the right direction, and that helped the recent sale. “The ‘debt diet’ Governor Lamont has proposed...may have additionally driven demand for this issue,” David M. Womack, senior vice president at Blaylock Van LLC and a co-manager of the bond issue said “ “It’s still by and large a wealthy state, it’s got good schools and it’s between Boston and New York. ... People aren’t heading for the exits.”
