Anderson Announces School/Taxpayers Relief & Affordability Plan (STRAP)

Key Takeaways

  • GOP proposes STRAP to return $365 million to Connecticut communities.
  • Plan guarantees stable annual funding built directly into the state budget.
  • STRAP allocates $447,582 to New Hartford while lawmakers pursue ECS reform.

Connecticut’s broken education funding formula has forced cities and towns to make up the difference, leaving property taxpayers to shoulder the burden. The House Republican School Taxpayer Relief and Affordability Plan (STRAP) would return $365 million to communities across the state.

For the 62nd District, that means:

  • Barkhamsted – $222,064
  • Granby – $809,503
  • Hartland – $159,272
  • New Hartford – $447,582

STRAP is built directly into the state budget, so towns can count on consistent funding year after year—no scrambling, no uncertainty. It provides meaningful, sustainable relief for local property taxpayers while lawmakers continue working to fix the flawed Education Cost Sharing formula for good.
