CT Senate GOP Statement on Refundable Child Tax Credit

For Immediate Release

Sen. Ryan Fazio and Sen. Stephen Harding issued the following statement regarding a proposal for a refundable child tax credit:

“Under one-party Democrat rule, Connecticut becomes tougher and tougher for working class families to make ends meet.

We’re # 2 in the country for highest electricity bills.

We’re # 3 in the country for highest property taxes.

Republicans continue to offer common sense solutions to lower those burdens. This year, we introduced a plan for income and property tax relief to lower burdens for middle class families by $1,000 annually.

At the same time, Republicans continue to press for significant relief by getting the hidden ‘public benefits’ tax removed from our unaffordable electricity bills.”
