February 08, 2012 JTaxes

Encourages citizens to contact Gov. Malloy to demand fiscal responsibility and lower taxes

Hartford CT- Twenty years ago, Connecticut passed a state income tax, sold to citizens as a short-term solution to the state’s budget crisis. Twenty years later, the citizens of Connecticut and the state of the economy are still suffering. Happy Taxiversary Connecticut!

Malloy, but to remain active and engaged in the legislative process.”
