Is the repeal of the local car tax
collected by Connecticut cities and towns a blessing or a curse? Most
people would say a blessing - having to fork over less money always
sounds good. Before you decide, this may not be the case if this local
tax is repealed. Lovers of big government bureaucracy may get their
with a CT State Car Tax ! And you won't have to wait too long! Some
legislators already have such a law penned and ready to go this
session! What are your thoughts on the repeal of the local car tax?

HOME HEATING OIL TAX PROPOSED: Think going green is good? Depends on the type of green. Do tax breaks for those who use energy efficient solutions still exist?Of course we all want to help the environment, but being proposed in the legislature currently is a bill that would tax home heating oil and propane. Is penalizing those who have yet to converted their home's heating into a more environmentally sustainable solution really the answer?
Rep. Matt
Lesser is in his third term representing the 100th Assembly
District (Middletown). He brags that he has earned a lifetime 100% voting record from the
CT League of Conservation Voters and is active in the National Caucus
of Environmental Legislators. He is the new Assistant Majority Leader, and he serves on
the Energy &; Technology Committee, is chair of the Legislative
Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee and is vice chair of the
Government Administration and Elections Committee blah blah blah. SO email Rep. Lesser and ask him how paying more to heat your home works for you?

Click to enlarge Press Release from CEMA |
The proposed bill was sparked by Gov. Dannel Malloy's recently-released, 195-page “Comprehensive Energy Strategy” for Connecticut. The report encourages people and businesses to switch from oil to natural gas, however is a tax on those with existing systems really the answer?

Surprising the the boy mayor would publically disagree with big guv dan. Normally he falls all over him in an attempt to curry favor.
ReplyDeleteIt will ruin his chances for a job once the voters in this town send him packing.
MAKE WELFARE FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS ONLY...(THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT) - GO AFTER FRAUD - GO AFTER WASTE - HIRE AMERICANS NOT ILLEGAL ALIENS - ANALYZE EVERY DOLLAR SPENT...AND WE WOULDN'T NEED ALLN THESE TAXES IN THE FIRST PLACE...

You can't read! Boy Mayor Drew doesn't disagree with Malloy!
ReplyDeleteOh course Danny boy can't make a decision on his own. Can't wait to see the tax payers send him packing.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that loser Jeremy singleton in Cromwell. One hit wonder. Without an actual hit! What has this kid done? Besides raise taxes? The media other then the outsider won't report all the infighting. The democratic Machine is destroying this country, this state, and especially this city!
ENTITLEMENt!!!
ReplyDeleteThe governor has never meet a tax he didn't want to implement on the citizens of Connecticut. My guess is that Matt Lesser will fall into line and vote like he has the past four in a half years, and that is with the democrats and the governor
ReplyDeleteDoes Mark Masselli have to pay taxes on his $600,000 salary?
ReplyDeleteonce upon a time not so long ago, Matt couldn't be separated from Donavan, now I bet he doesn't even know who he is
