    Making Connecticut Affordable, Call for Special Session

    Making Connecticut Affordable, Call for Special Session
    This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

    Inflation and our state’s tax structure have made Connecticut unaffordable. I am calling for a special session to provide immediate tax relief that will be meaningful to both residents and businesses. The plan I support prioritizes lowering energy costs – including diesel fuel – as well as making everyday items easier for you to purchase. Specifics of the plan include:

    • Reducing the income tax
    • Expanding current gas tax holiday to diesel
    • Suspending impending diesel fuel tax increase (scheduled for July 1)
    • Eliminating the big truck tax
    • Reducing the state’s sales tax
    • Eliminating the tax on meals
    • Increasing residential heating and cooling assistance accessibility
