Sen. Sampson comments on the newly-announced $1000 signing bonus for CT residents to return to work - CT Senate Republic

“This is an outright slight to the many Connecticut residents who have been steadily working throughout the pandemic who did not allow a government handout to supplant their need to be a productive member of society, particularly at-risk frontline workers.  Doling out signing bonuses as incentives and government policies that make living off unemployment more lucrative than getting a job have set our state on a dangerous track.  We should be focused on improving Connecticut’s economic competitiveness and creating opportunities that empower those looking for work,” said Sen. Rob Sampson (R-Wolcott)
