Let me be clear - I oppose this burdensome tax proposal on golfers.
Over the last two decades, Connecticut has risen to the top of national rankings as the most taxed state. Despite a minimal change in population, the state's budget has nearly doubled in the last 10 years due to an unprecedented growth in spending. Connecticut taxpayers pay federal, state and local taxes that, combined together, are the highest anywhere. The accumulative tax burden on Connecticut residences may be putting Connecticut families and businesses at the tipping point. The decision to remain in Connecticut or relocate out of the state is now too often the topic discussed around Connecticut's kitchen tables.
The General Assembly's top priority must be to create an environment where businesses can grow and families can prosper. Connecticut's tax policy has a direct correlation to its economic health. As a member of the Joint Committee on Finance, Revenue and Bonding, I will support policies that promote growth in our businesses and our economy and oppose negative tax proposals.
You can be certain that I will continue to work for reductions of state agencies as a way to preserve valuable tax exemptions and credits that encourage business to grow.
It is important to receive this type of feedback from my constituents in an effort to serve them well. I am, therefore, grateful for your correspondence and encourage you to continue to contact me further with your ideas and concerns.
