| Hartford, CT – State Senate
Minority Leader John McKinney (R-Fairfield) today released
the following statement regarding the Democratic Leaders’
announcement that the General Assembly will convene in
special session June 11th to vote on extending the municipal
conveyance tax.
Senate Minority Leader John McKinney (R-Fairfield):
“Democratic leaders once again are raising taxes
at a time when Connecticut residents can least afford
it. To raise the conveyance tax and flatly reject viable
tax relief proposals is to ignore the struggles of families
and small businesses whose incomes are not keeping pace
with the rising cost of living and working here.
“Republican leaders have put a solution on the
table that will lower the conveyance tax rate for homeowners
while keeping our municipalities whole. Our proposal
is a win-win for everyone and deserves serious consideration
from Democratic lawmakers.”
