“A Full Blown Affordability Crisis in CT.” Sen. Harding on New Survey Results

For Immediate Release 

Sen. Stephen Harding today issued the following statement regarding a new survey which reveals that more than half of Connecticut parents struggle to afford basic needs.  (https://www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/article/ct-affordability-family-child-care-health-struggle-21040583.php)

“Here is further evidence that under one party Democrat rule, Connecticut continues to get more and more unaffordable for hard working families.

This survey found that more than one in three parents say they have trouble paying for utilities, with 79% saying they struggle to pay electricity bills.

The survey comes a week after the United Way of Connecticut’s annual report revealed that the percentage of Connecticut households facing financial instability has risen 17% since 2019.

It is crystal clear: We are smack dab in the middle of a full blown affordability crisis in Connecticut.

Does anyone see this crisis changing as long as Democrats are in charge at the State Capitol?

Senate Republicans will continue proposing common sense solutions to cut taxes, reduce electricity bills and help struggling working families.”
