CT Senate GOP Statement on 3rd Highest Property Tax Ranking for 3rd Straight Year

On behalf of the Senate Republican Caucus, Sen. Stephen Harding issued the following statement regarding a new report by the Tax Foundation which ranks Connecticut as having the 3rd-highest effective property tax rate in the nation for the 3rd consecutive year.

“We are holding firm at #3 most unaffordable.

Thank supermajority Democrats at the State Capitol for that.

They own this ranking.

And nothing will change until we have more balance at the State Capitol.

Republicans have offered a common sense plan that effectively eliminates the car tax for working families and limits property tax increases.

We urge supermajority Democrats to pass it into law.

Can’t afford Connecticut? Neither can we.

And we can’t afford Connecticut Democrats.

The Senate Republican plan will save families thousands of dollars a year, every year.

If not now, then when?”
