They may just be acting contrarian. If there's something Democrats want, then they can mock or opposite it on that fact alone. It gives them as sense of power, plenty of attention, and a chance to feel good about themselves owning the libs.

Good question. USA facts looks like it presents detailed data on a variety of subjects, so I don't think the site is fudging the numbers. My best guess is that the chart rates taxes according the sources they outline (property, fees, income, etc.). It would really help if we had a link to the source of the chart.
Here's a more comprehensive look at taxes state by state. Connecticut is not in the top 10 but is still high:

Here Connecticut is #7 highest in tax burden.

Connecticut is clearly not a low tax state, but where we fit in the overall rankings depends on the resource.

Both the heading of this post and the title of the graph are potentially misleading.
Unfortunately people will read this is as "Connecticut has the #1 highest tax burden overall in the United States." It's not clear that this graph is showing that. Taxes come from a variety of sources and it may be measuring the amount from those sources.
Also, I can't easily locate the USA Facts source. And the image does not give us any detail about what it is exactly trying to measure.
Connecticut may actually have a very high tax rate overall, but we don't know because this chart isn't giving that answer.

Are these state police or a city/town police? If the latter, that can vary from city to city.
Also, it would be interesting to see results when accounting for other variables such as crime levels overall, economic conditions, and poverty levels.
This says no training for Hawaii, but this makes no sense:

Apparently Hawaii has a police academy so they must be training something:

Actual CRT? No, because no primary public schools actually teach CRT.
The conservative fantasy CRT? Yes, if what you do offends them. No, if what you supports their values.
Remember, the sole purpose of the current CRT controversy was to weaponize it against public education. This was created by a single conservative activist with that goal in mind.

Reply to Do these CT GOP state reps believe in witches? They won't say. by Vivax-Foundation
>"Typically, when somebody wants to have a convict exonerated, whether while they're alive or after they are dead, they produce evidence that they were innocent. Do you have any evidence that this person was innocent?" Dubitsky asked Beverly Kahn, a supporter of the exoneration resolution.
This question I don't understand. Isn't there absolute evidence that the person was innocent, because the act and results of witchcraft do not scientifically exist? This would be like if 300 years ago a Connecticut person was convicted of unlawful levitation. Are they innocent? Yes, because it is not possible for human beings to levitate.
