With hurricanes on people's minds, Wilton Senator Toni Boucher is comparing Connecticut's fiscal situation to the destruction of a natural disaster.  She says Connecticut taxpayers were facing a category 3 storm, but the last two massive tax increases, are now in a category 5 financial mess.

There's not much time before October 1st, when Governor Malloy's draconian cuts kick in if lawmakers are unable to negotiate a new budget, one that he won't veto. 

Boucher says the Democratic plan included too many fee and tax increases.
