MA vs CT (living)

[Bayer-Z28]

I've heard that Ma lowered their state taxes from the recent elections. I've got an interview for a job in Windsor CT on Friday that I am PRAYING I get. (My forte' = heavy Equipment operator)

CT is RAPE expensive to live in and a horridly blue state. They charge around $360/year JUST for CAR TAXES. Not sales tax, CAR TAX. My parents are paying over $3000/yr in taxes for their 1100 sq ft ranch built in 1956. (My property taxes for a 1222 sqft home built in 1979 in NM were $1200/yr) CT state sales tax is 6% God knows about the income tax.

The cost of living in CT is just soo damn high it's unreal and my monthly budget is around $2200/mo JUST for basic cost of living and two bills. Now that would actually go up to around $2500/mo with the truck loan. CT is also ANAL about ATV's.. Hunting quads are ok, but a sport quad OH NO!! You'd BETTER not get caught with one.. Everything is "private property" and these rich assholes get all bent out of shape whenever they HEAR you start your quad. My uncle had a neighbor call the cops on him because he took his dirt bike around the culdesac at the end of his DW.. He wasn't even out 5 minutes.

If I can move to mass, I will.

Ideas?
