Governor Malloy's recent declaration of eliminating car taxes and the pilot tax program for state properties to cities and towns does create a major dilemma for New Britain’s Mayor, Tim O’Brien, who promised to not raise taxes. He already raided the water department’s reserve by approximately $12,600,000 resulting in bond payments to be paid by the city a sum of $800,000 per year.
With the loss of the pilot tax program and the car taxes how is the Mayor going survive without raising the city's tax rate--voiding his election promise to not raise taxes. Malloy did add additional educational funds to the cities and towns but took much needed income away.
Just maybe, Alderman Willie Pabon had it right in the first place, by recommending a 3.5 mil increase to the city’s tax rate, but the Democratic Aldermen rejected his proposal.
No problem, our communist in chief will simply seize more wealth from those evil rich people so he can dole it out to the people who deserve it more than those that worked hard to earn it.
ReplyDeleteHe proposed a 1 mil tax increase and yes Pabon is correct!
ReplyDeleteOh, he doesn't care because he is selling the water dept. That will fulfill his goals!
ReplyDeleteI have heard that Democrats are already talking about the car tax being a foregone conclusion because Desperado Dan wants it and the brain dead socialists in the legislature will pass whatever their comrade demands of them.
ReplyDeleteWhen Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell proposed eliminating the local property tax on automobiles in 2006, then-Stamford Mayor Dannel P. Malloy and other Democrats criticized it as a gimmick.
ReplyDeleteIt "has the ring of a bait-and-switch all over it,'' Malloy told The Courant in February 2006. Then-state Sen. Kevin Sullivan said Rell's plan was "utterly disingenuous and non-workable.''
Now, Gov. Malloy has proposed his own plan to partially eliminate the car tax — and he says it is "very different from Jodi Rell's'' proposal.
WHAT DICTATOR DAN IS DOING HERE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN OBAMA AS A SENATOR CALLING RAISING THE SPENDING CAP WHEN BUSH WAS PRESIDENT AS "UNPATRIOTIC" AND NOW THAT HE IS PRESIDENT, HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DUMPING MORE DEBT ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAN ALL PRESIDENTS BEFORE HIM COMBINED, SO NOW WHO IS BEING "UNPATRIOTIC?"
