No New Taxes! Voice Your Opinion at Public Hearing on Monday

The legislature’s finance committee has voted to hike Connecticut taxes AGAIN by NEARLY $2.4 billion RETROACTIVE to January 1

The legislature’s finance committee has voted to hike Connecticut taxes AGAIN by NEARLY $2.4 billion RETROACTIVE to January 1. If they become law, these massive tax increases and new taxes, on top of $6.4 billion in tax increases over the last four years, will further hurt families and businesses. You should have a voice in this fight.

SIGN THE PETITION

If you agree that more taxes would be bad for our state, and you want your voice to be heard – please sign our petition at NoNewCTTaxes.com

SPEAK OUT AT PUBLIC HEARING

Senate & House Republicans will also host a Public Hearing on the proposed tax hikes and new taxes on Monday, May 11 at 1:30pm in Room 1E at the Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Ave. Hartford.
