Vail Announces School/Taxpayers Relief & Affordability Plan (STRAP)
Key Takeaways
- House Republicans propose STRAP to return $365 million to Connecticut towns
- Plan embeds predictable school relief in the state budget for stable funding
- Measure aims to relieve property taxpayers while lawmakers reform 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 52nd District, that means:
- Somers – $845,998
- Stafford – $1,419,474
- Union – $31,466
- Thomaston – $741,657
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.
