Sen. Fasano: “Gov. Malloy told us there would be no tax hikes…”

Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano (R-North Haven) today issued the following statement after Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed the state budget into law.

“Gov. Malloy told us there would be no tax hikes, but what did he just do? He just signed the second largest tax hike in state history into law. Why did he go back on his word? Why did he break his campaign promise? Why won’t he just admit that he broke his pledge to the people? I hope that a year from now, when Connecticut will without a doubt be facing another deficit, the governor will have the courage to own up to the fact that this budget did nothing to change the structure of how our state taxes and spends.”
