“Property taxes are becoming the single biggest expense I have in a year.”
Paula Roche’s story is the same as so many Connecticut residents, in particular our seniors. They are being driven out of homes they’ve raised families in, forced to make personal budget cuts while “the state government never seems to” do the same.
CAP THE TAX: I am proposing a four-part plan to end Connecticut’s property tax crisis and “Cap The Tax”!
✅Eliminate Costly Unfunded Mandates
✅Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) Reform
✅Stable and Predictable Funding for Municipalities
✅Cap Your Property Taxes
Other states have successfully implemented similar reforms and avoided the rapidly increasing property taxes that your family have been forced to pay in Connecticut. There is no good reason we cannot enact a property tax cap for your family and others across our state.
I called the offices of @ChrisMurphyCT and @SenBlumenthal and asked why CT’s 2 Senators haven’t publicly condemned the foiled terrorist plot in Washington DC. They had no answer but added they “might” . MIGHT?These 2 don’t sleep and live to provide soundbites.WHERE’s CT’s MEDIA?
Great to stand with Ryan Fazio and other state and local leaders today discussing property tax relief and the burden unfunded state mandates place on our cities and towns.
Connecticut has more than 1,400 state mandates impacting municipalities, many of them unfunded or underfunded. When Hartford passes new requirements without providing the funding to support them, local taxpayers are often left holding the bill through higher property taxes.
The principle should be simple: if the state mandates it, the state should help pay for it.
As Lieutenant Governor, I would work closely with mayors, first selectmen, town managers, and local officials across Connecticut to identify unnecessary mandates, eliminate costly unfunded requirements, and return more flexibility to our communities. Local leaders understand the needs of their towns better than bureaucrats in Hartford, and they deserve a stronger voice in the decisions that affect their budgets and taxpayers.
Another Lamont administration scandal? Yes indeed. Add it to the list.
PURA has now admitted that former Chairman and Lamont appointee Marissa Gillett broke numerous Connecticut laws. She made unilateral decisions and passed them off as rulings of the full agency.
Lies. Deception. A disdain for transparency.
Last year, Senate Republicans took an unprecedented stand. We boycotted the vote on Gillett’s re-nomination and walked out of the Senate Chamber in protest of the backroom deal that put her there.
That decision is looking better and better.
Gov. Lamont, this happened on your watch. Hold a press conference. Tell overburdened taxpayers and ratepayers your thoughts on this latest insult.
We’re still waiting…
This is:
The United States Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, Stephen Miller:
“The reason why those Americans in North Carolina, those mothers, those fathers, those precious little children, were left to die begging their government for help that never came is because the Democrats turned FEMA into an illegal alien resettlement agency.”
Meaning:
The Democrats said FEMA had NO money and left fathers to die in Maui.
The Democrats said FEMA had NO money and left mothers to die in East Palestine, Ohio.
The Democrats said FEMA had NO money and left children to die in North Carolina.
BUT FEMA had an extra $1 BILLION to spend on illegals, including Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, and voter registration.
And, as a bonus, they complain that Elon Musk is now a trillionaire.
It's come out that Barack Obama ordered the RAID on Mar-A-Lago.
When he wasn't President.
Biden was.
What gave Obama the right.
I think it's time for the second ex-POTUS to face court challenges.
It's BEYOND time for Obama to get his.
🚨BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard just appeared on Fox and confirmed with the American people that Obama and senior officials around him attempted a COUP!
This is TREASON!
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!!
This is possibly the most alarming act of treason since the Lincoln assassination.
@libsoftiktok@CoachEdBoyce As usual, the morons running Connecticut into the ground are shameful. It is such an embarrassment to be a citizen of this state.
As Chris Murphy happily points out, he doesn't care about us citizens. It's all about illegals for him
💥NEW: Greg Gutfeld: “Platner is a hero … He’s slayed 2 big movements: The ‘You’re a Nazi’ movement — by being a Nazi and being accepted by the Left, you can’t call anybody a Nazi anymore! What about the ‘Me Too’ movement? By not believing all women, that goes out the window!”
I am a J6er.
Entrapment happened when the doors were opened, and we were let in and given tours while feds in the crowd led the way. Watch video at the 12 sec mark. A black dude is walking against the flow of traffic, saying, "Welcome home, brave men." He was a friend of Ray Epps.
Murder was committed when Michael Byrd shot an unarmed protester, and Lila Morris beat another one to death.
Incitement occurred when the peaceful crowd was fired upon with flashbangs and rubber bullets to the face.
A miscarriage of justice took place when Americans were charged with assault against law enforcement for stopping cops' punches with their face.
Selective prosecution happened when prison sentences were handed down for the same charges $50 tickets were given in the past and afterward.
It was the only Trump rally with no counter protest because ANTIFA disguised themselves as MAGA supporters and initiated the breach.
The double standard and hypocrisy of partisan law occurred when BLM rioters caused over a billion in damages, killed 22, including a cop, and in the end, 95% of the cases were dropped and many got paid.
The cover-up was the sham J6 committee doctoring evidence, then deleting it all.
The Fedsurrection combined all of these and used the riot to stop the reading of election fraud at the Joint Session of Congress.
The Big Lie was and is that it was a free and fair election.
God Bless the J6ers.
🚨🔥WATCH: Joe Concha just put together the PERFECT side-by-side video comparison on how 60 minutes treated Obama and Kamala vs Trump.
After Kristen Welker’s biased hit job on Meet the Press where Trump walked off the set, Concha compared it to how the biased media treats Democrats.
The difference is night and day.
Obama and Kamala get softball interviews with kid gloves on.
Trump gets pure hostility.
This is exactly why the mainstream media is dead.
This young lady with a disability is pouring her heart into crocheting. ❤️
People didn’t believe in her, but she’s still creating beauty.
Every comment & share means the world to her. Let’s show her some love! 🧶✨
I have spent the last decade having to go to DC for work.
Most of dc was hard to look at— homelessness everywhere, the city felt like Gotham at night. After blm quite a lot of businesses shuttered and never reopened.
Most notably, grass was dead, planters were destroyed and trashed, walkways, cement and stone were all poorly managed. They were dirty, overgrown with weeds, water was dirty and grass was brown patchy and terrible.
Now you walk around dc and it’s the exact opposite. Truly the entire city has been revived. Planters restored, grass cut back and filled in. You can walk around at almost any hour without fearing for your life. The memorials which I feel are beautiful at night in particular, are the nicest I’ve ever seen them. No broken fixtures or lights.
It’s amazing what can happen when you take care of a city.
President Trump has done for DC what Rudy Guiliani did for NYC and Americans should never forget it.
Such a BEAUTIFUL moment between Pete Hegseth and this WWII Hero Veteran. Mainstream Media will never show you this
This is why I fought hard for Pete Hegseth
