Perillo Defends Seniors and Protects Retirement Benefits

Last week, I shot down a bill that would have increased the contribution levels from 3% to 5% to the Connecticut Retirement Fund for residents of all income backgrounds. The problem: this bill would have hurt working class families without giving them the ability to opt-out.

My Republican colleagues and I agree: let people make their own decisions about their money and retirement. I am proud to say that we successfully prevented this bill from passing this session and I will continue to fight back against attempts at government overreach.
