Over the past few days legislators from both parties have said they’ve been getting an earful from constituents angry about the additional .03 the budget package Democratic leaders struck with the governor last week tacks onto Connecticut’s already high gas taxes.
So as the Malloy/Democratic leaders’ budget heads to the full General Assembly, it’s looking likely there will be some additional tinkering to alter that gas tax proposal.
“We’re hopeful,” Sen. Eileen Daily, D-Westbrook, co-chairman of the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Commission – one of the legislature’s two powerful budget writing committees – told me a few minutes ago. “It’s being looked at.”
Yes the still dont get it…………..more taxes are counter productive……man we need to drill it into their heads
nothing like kicking the middle class when they’re down. keep adding taxes and we can get to the bottom of the business friendly rating.
