🤝CUTTING WORKER FEES: This week I testified in favor of my bipartisan bill, SB611, which would cut worker licensing fees to $100 per year. Currently our state forces hundreds of thousands of qualified workers to pay up to $1,000 just for the right to work in our state which reduces opportunity and growth and inflates cost of living.
This is the third year I’ve proposed this tax cut and appreciate the great bipartisan support I’ve received for it. This year the governor even included the proposal in his budget which means it’s more likely than ever to pass. Let’s get it done and reduce taxes and costs for our families across CT!
