in

Hartford officials are turning over rocks looking for loose change at this point as they try and plug a projected $40mm budget shortfall. Anyone know which law firm they've hired for the inevitable Chapter 9? If so, email us!

At least there is some sensibility being baked into "return" assumptions. We bet the numbers will still be way off. They always are.
