This is one of those situations where we might be able to take two seemingly incongruous facts and put them together to find a deeper meaning. Ready? Fact number one: Connecticut is one of the richest states in the nation depending how you measure such things. Fact number two: Connecticut has managed to run up nearly $75B in debt and is teetering on the edge of being in worse financial shape than Puerto Rico. (The Daily Beast)

And there's lots of that in Connecticut.

Frankly, I think all the states are facing some degree of this problem. If your state is currently doing well then that may be because it came later to the game.
