Ha. I know the Cohen’s have a home in Delray Beach, which makes sense for the placement of his new offices (one 45 min north, one 45 min south).

Their primary residence is in Greenwich (unsurprisingly).

But it’s interesting to see these companies relocate “to accommodate staff”. That’s some talent.

As of now, their CT HQ is remaining and they haven’t made any mention that it will change.

This is kind of off topic. I would like to point out it’s an office for just 45 employees. That’s not that big really for a company with 1,600 employees. Jay

He's down to about $13B after buying the Mets. It behooves him to spend 183 nights out of the year in his Florida mansion in order to save on some taxes, if he's not already doing that.

I wanted to put this Census information in this thread because many people say how CT is losing a lot of residents. So there are some states that are losing a lot of residents and a congressional district(s) but CT is not one of them.

I am thinking that all the people who moved to CT from NYC in 2020 could have saved us a congressional seat?

From what I have read, our 5 seats are likely safe until 2the 030 census. The formula is a bit complex, but what folks forget is the government apportions 385 seats, not 435, as each state gets 1, 50 are automatic.

So our 5 seats are indicative that we earned 4 of 385 based on our last census. The 1st seat was a given.

But CT did not lose a congressional seat like the other states. And that is my point.

We have gone through this a number of times. The media loves to hype this but the truth is it’s not nearly as dramatic as indicated. In the 2010 Census, Connecticut’s population was set at 3,574,097. According to this estimate it is now 3,557,006. That’s a difference of just 17,091 residents. Statistically, that is insignificant and well under the margin of error for such estimates. Until the final 2020 number is published, we will not know the actual change in population. It could even go up. Jay

Not the point. Correct premise is that CT is replacing “givers” with “takers.”

The Czech company that has purchased Colt Firearms in West Hartford has put their own US expansion plans to concentrate on the Connecticut facility. That’s good news for a company that had been just about written off. Let’s hope things will work out for the company here. Jay

This is also not true. As data that CTartist has posted before indicates, our incom3 levels have gone up not down. I& you were correct that would not be the case. Jay
