Tax cut

“We are delighted to take a step forward toward a more equitable state,” Baril said. “Obviously we still have many, many big problems.”

Rep. Anne Hughes of Easton, a progressive Democrat and also affiliated with Recovery for All CT, said many of her fellow Democrats the legislature’s majority still want to see Lamont back the child tax credit.

“Tax justice is our Number One priority and the reason is we don’t see any other way of addressing the other converging crises,” Hughes said.

Unless the state can ease its disproportionately high tax burden on low- and moderate-income households, Hughes added, too many families will remain unable to afford decent housing and health care. The imbalance also is contributing to a growing worker shortages in vital segments of the economy that tend to be underpaid, she said, adding this includes health care workers, early childhood development staff, and teachers.
