HARTFORD, Conn. – Following a closed-door meeting with their caucus, House Speaker Brendan Sharkey and House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz offered few details about the language they plan to adopt in special session to implement the two-year, $40.3 billion budget that the General Assembly passed on June 3.
“I don’t want to get into specifics about what we talked about in the caucus, but let’s say our members and Democrats in general are hearing the concerns from the public that have been expressed since the budget was announced,” Sharkey said. “It’s our intention to address those concerns.”
There were concerns expressed about the tax increases on corporations and hospitals. There were also concerns about what reducing those taxes would mean for the services the state provides its neediest residents.
