At the urging of Attorney General George Jepsen, a judge has fined Bruno Suraci, past owner of three New Haven businesses, who must pay “$700,000 for violating of hazardous waste management statutes and regulations; $33,500 for violating air pollution control laws and regulations; and $10,000 for failure to obtain an emissions permit,” according to a story in the New Haven Independent, “ Fined BusinessmanSays State Ruined Him .” Mr. Suraci’s three year bout with the attorney general’s office has left him unable to pay the fine, and he is now considering a move to a state less predatory than Connecticut.
go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you;
may your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"
