[CT House Republicans @cthousegop]

House Republicans today paved the "Pathway to Affordability" with expanded tax relief, education cost support, and healthcare savings as part of our annual balanced budget adjustments.

Included is a pitch for $365 million in new "STRAP Aid" to support EVERY municipalities' soaring public education costs and lower the property tax burden on residents. This provision is derived from the existing percentage share of ECS funding.

The $27.9 billion plan provides more than $400 million in tax relief, falls $167 million under the state spending cap, and spends less than the governor’s budget proposal and the product advanced by Appropriations Committee Democrats.

[Connecticut Hospital Association @cthosp]

Hospital leaders from across Connecticut voiced opposition to the governor’s proposed hospital tax increase and urged the state to instead consider a new approach to the hospital tax to maximize federal investments to best support patient care.

Hospitals across CT are already partnering with community organizations like @thediaperbankct to identify families in need and connect them with diapers through trusted healthcare settings. HB 5486 would help sustain and expand these efforts statewide. https://t.co/4fIb2X3aAF

The governor’s budget proposal would perpetuate the cycle of high taxes on and underinvestment in care provided by hospitals. The proposal will hurt patients, families, and the communities that depend on local care. But it doesn’t have to be this way 👉https://t.co/Od7IiYa25V

[Connecticut Hospital Association @cthosp]

The need to nurture and grow the #healthcareworkforce has never been greater. @GovNedLamont's proposal, detailed in SB 85, recognizes what is at stake and will help mitigate some immediate impacts of harmful federal changes. Read CHA's full press release: https://t.co/OxL8H0EO4U
