High taxes, soaring energy costs, burdensome regulations, and the rising cost of living continue to make Connecticut a difficult place for too many people to live, work, and build a future. No election result changes the economic realities behind those challenges.

SPOTLIGHT: The Boom and Bust of the Silk Industry in Connecticut

In the 1830’s, Connecticut farmer Elder Sharp rejected an offer of $450 to purchase a quarter share of his $50 mulberry tree. Within months, the tree was worthless. Sharp, of North Windham, was just one of many Nutmeggers caught up in the silkworm craze that at one time promised fortune and prosperity. Tens of thousands of cultivated mulberry trees were planted across the state’s landscape, according to author Bob Wyss, at connecticuthistory.org. The industry, however, ended suddenly, leaving a legacy of invasive species known to “escape from cultivation.”
