Gov. Malloy has proposed more tax hikes.
Lots and lots of them.
Again!
They can be found in his Senate Bill #10.
Malloy is proposing:
- A new tax on nonprescription drugs and medicines.
- A new CT Tire Tax. $3 per tire.
- A new tax on low-income working families and elderly individuals by eliminating the $200 property tax credit
- A gas tax hike.
- A 25-cent deposit fee on wine and liquor bottles. Fruit, tea, sports, and energy drinks would also be subject to the redemption fee.
- A penalty on job creators by maintaining a “temporary” surcharge on the corporation tax that was due to expire June 30.
- A hike in the hotel tax.
- A hike in the tax on real estate conveyances.
- The elimination of the $500 credit on the income tax for recent college graduates who earn a degree in a science, technology, engineering, or math field.
This is all on top of the 2 record-setting, job-killing tax hikes Malloy has already approved as governor.
Higher taxes are NOT the answer.
New taxes are NOT the answer.
A public hearing will be held on Friday to allow fed up taxpayers to speak out against those tax hikes.
