Connecticut’s growing fiscal problems have an unsettling effect on our business climate and economy, risking jobs, government services, and our quality of life.
Without immediate changes, without urgently needed reforms, we face an uncertain future.
We need bold action, for lawmakers to send a clear message that Connecticut is changing the way it does business, that we will compete aggressively with the rest of the country and the world.
It’s time to bring state spending under control and make government operate quicker, leaner, smarter, more efficiently—because public service should serve the public.
Tax hikes are no solution. They will only compound the state’s fiscal problems while further undermining our economy.
Let’s foster innovation and develop a climate that keeps jobs and families here and gives businesses—small and large—the confidence to invest and grow in Connecticut.
The budget reforms proposed by the Governor are essential for moving our state in the right direction.
Lawmakers must work together—Republicans and Democrats—and act on those proposals with urgency and courage while rejecting costly new business mandates.
We all want the best for our state.
A great quality of life.
More opportunities for good, well-paying jobs.
Making sure every child has a great education.
Taking care of our neediest citizens.
And giving families the chance to build their lives here.
