Canino Announces School/Taxpayers Relief & Affordability Plan (STRAP)
Key Takeaways
- Canino unveils STRAP to return $365 million to Connecticut towns.
- Plan embeds relief in the state budget for stable, recurring funding.
- Plan eases property-tax burden while lawmakers fix the ECS formula.
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 65th District, that means Torrington would receive an additional $5,157,078 in funding for our schools.
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.
