CT Senate GOP statement on United Way report

For Immediate Release

The CT Senate Republican Caucus issued the following statement regarding a new report from the United Way of Connecticut which reveals that 39 percent of the state’s total households fell below the threshold at which they can afford essentials in 2022, up 13 percent from 2019. These households are particularly concentrated in urban areas but can be found in every ZIP code in the state.

“Under one-party Democrat rule, Connecticut becomes tougher and tougher for families to make ends meet. From electricity bills to groceries to insurance, the financial burdens only grow and grow. Republicans continue to offer common sense solutions to lower those burdens. Just last year, we proposed a $2,000 per child tax deduction in addition to the largest across the board tax cut in state history.”
