HARTFORD – House Republicans, in an effort to jump start stalled budget talks, today detailed their no-tax increase budget that increases school spending for every town and city, cuts borrowing and the state workforce and restores a $200 property tax credit.

House Republican Leader Themis Klarides called the proposal an honest plan that eliminates the $5.1 billion budget over the next two years and initiates long-term structural changes by not extending the SEBAC agreement five years as Governor Malloy negotiated with state unions.
