New "Welcome to Connecticut" highway signs are being installed at key entry points on the state's border.
“Welcome to CONNECTICUT, Home of the Pizza Capital of the United States”
“Welcome to CONNECTICUT, Home of the Basketball Capital of the World”
“Welcome to CONNECTICUT, Stop for a bite in the Foodie Capital of New England”
“Welcome to CONNECTICUT, Home of the Submarine Capital of the World”
Other states did not agree:
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy tweeted “You’re not even the pizza capital of the tri-state area”.
Massachusetts governor Maura Healey crossed out Connecticut on the basketball sign writing Massachusetts and tweeted “fixed it”.
Between the lines: The internet exploded with tweets from taxpayers:
"Home to the most expensive state in the USA"
"Home of the never ending electric bill increases"
"Where your burden for state pensions is the highest"
"Where your tax rates are higher than almost every other state in the union"
