Another Super Bowl and, once again, my Giants are graciously letting other teams have their moment. Maybe next year, right? Until then, let’s enjoy the game, the commercials, and maybe a few too many wings. Have a safe and fun Super Bowl Sunday!🏈
This morning, I had the privilege of joining students, faculty, and fellow legislators at the Northwestern Community College’s Legislative Breakfast in Winsted. It was inspiring to hear firsthand about the incredible educational opportunities NWCC provides and the challenges the college is working to overcome.
As a vital institution in our region, we must continue to support NWCC and ensure access to quality education for all. Thank you to the students and faculty for an insightful and engaging discussion!
💵“AFFORDABILITY NOW!”💵
“Struggling Connecticut middle class families and businesses are getting crushed. They want affordability now. We must reduce taxes across the board.”
Today, I stood with my fellow CT Senate Republican colleagues to unveil a sweeping tax relief proposal that aims to lower costs for middle class families and job creators.
The proposals would:
✅ Cut income tax rates
✅Simplify the tax code
✅ Institute a 2% property tax cap for municipalities
✅ Cut licensing fees and reduce filing fees
✅ Reduce the paid family leave tax
✅ Tighten the bonding cap
✅ Eliminate unfunded mandates
✅ Permanently extend the fiscal guardrails
💵 We seek to deliver income tax relief of more than $700 million in the biennium.
