HARTFORD – State Rep. Lezlye Zupkus joined her Republican colleagues in the House and Senate today to offer an alternative budget proposal that fully eliminates the $321.5 million deficit and restores funding for core services.
“We need to address this budget deficit and the proposal we presented today is a step in the right direction,” said Rep. Zupkus. “We are listening to the frustrated Connecticut residents who are tired of government waste, the bailouts, and the unnecessary taxes they have to pay.

Rep. Zupkus explained the Republican proposal funds the Medicare Savings Program, eliminates many of the governor’s proposals to increase taxes and provides necessary education and municipal aid funding to our local communities.
