The Whole Ledger
A broad, deliberately two-sided reading of how Connecticut fared during its long stretch of unified state government. Each of the 26 indicators is expressed as a same-year gap or ratio between Connecticut and its comparator, which cancels inflation, national shocks, and survey redesigns that hit both sides equally; where a series changed methodology mid-period the report says so and explains the choice made. Favorable and unfavorable results are given the same prominence, and the two derived values in the set are marked as derived rather than quietly mixed in with the verified ones.
Includes a summary table of all 26 rows, a section on the statistical traps that make Connecticut arguments go wrong (the housing permits-versus-units trap and the voter-turnout denominator trap in particular), an explicit account of what the report cannot show — above all causation — and a companion single-page chart rendering every indicator as a trajectory.
