RGA Statement On General Electric Leaving Dan Malloy’s High-Tax Connecticut

RGA reports:

The Republican Governors Association released the following statement regarding the news that General Electric, one of Connecticut’s largest employers, will leave the state because of Gov. Dan Malloy’s anti-business policies and move to Boston:

“General Electric’s decision to move their headquarters and jobs from Connecticut to Massachusetts is a direct result of Democrat Gov. Dan Malloy’s failed leadership and eagerness to drive business out of his state through job-killing policies,” said RGA Communications Director Jon Thompson. “GE made it clear to Malloy that if he pushed his $1.2 billion tax hike on business, they would leave. Now, they are making good on that promise. This action by GE further proves that Malloy, as the Chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, will be a major liability to Democrat gubernatorial candidates everywhere in 2016.”
