Connecticut Has Better Choices

The Better Choices for Connecticut coalition rallied at the Capitol this week to oppose cuts to vital services and to express support for increasing revenues instead. The Better Choices plan proposes raising income taxes for the state's wealthiest residents--those who make $200,000+ every year--and closing corporate tax loopholes.

Governor Jodi Rell's proposal is to balance the budget on the backs of the poor by cutting much-needed services. This is far from a "shared sacrifice" when she has failed to ask the state's wealthiest residents to pay their fair share of taxes.

Connecticut can maintain quality services and balance the budget by asking for more from those who can best afford it.
