HARTFORD – State Representatives Bill Simanski (R-62), Tami Zawistowski (R-61) and Carol Hall (R-59) after hours of debate rejected the Democrat budget that raises hundreds of millions in sales taxes, raids the transportation fund to pay for ongoing services and hikes income taxes on thousands of small business owners.

Rep. Hall commented, “Overall this budget includes dozens of new taxes, charges and fee increases. This spending plan hits middle and working class families hardest. Connecticut residents will feel pain everywhere from the grocery store, dry cleaning and laundry to things such as Netflix. As a border community these tax changes make us even less competitive, new taxes on alcohol and prepared foods mean that even more people will do their shopping in Massachusetts.”
