"JoAnne Bauer, center of Hartford, waves to a plane in the sky with a banner attached to it thanking Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell for not raising taxes on the rich. Bauer is with a group called Billionaires for Budget Cuts for a protest at the State Capitol in Hartford, Conn. , Thursday, July 30, 2009. Gov. M. Jodi Rell is set to release a new budget plan that she says may have to include tax increases. The governor has been saying for months that she wouldn't consider raising taxes until all possible spending cuts have been exhausted."And here's a link to story & video for the "billionaires'" second visit (8/3/09): http://www.ctnewsjunkie.com/state_capitol/billionaires_for_budget_cuts_m.php
Also love the following comment by "Robin Eublind" at: http://blogs.courant.com/capitol_watch/2009/08/the-billionaires-are-back.html#comment-121242
" Cheers to Gov. Rell for protecting the rich and greedy at the expense of the sick and needy.

I understand that in the coming budget negotiations both sides have admitted there's a need to raise taxes to close the budget gap.
That's fine with me -- so long as no one raises taxes on Billionaires."
