Spending by cities and towns...
Bridgeport.
When Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin appealed for help to save his municipality from bankruptcy, one response he faced was that the capital city's big-spending ways had come home to roost, Keith Phaneuf and Clarice Silber report on ctmirror.org.
The perception that Connecticut's cities, facing struggling schools, poverty, crime and heavily traveled roads, easily outspend their suburban and rural neighbors can be found both around the capital city and elsewhere in the state, Phaneuf and Silber wrote.
But when municipal spending is examined on a per capita basis, it's Connecticut's suburbs -- and particularly those in Fairfield County -- that lead the way in spending, they add.
