As lawmakers consider responses to federal tax changes, State Sen. Len Suzio is again pushing for the creation of social service fund that would accept donations in exchange for a tax break.
The “Citizens in Need Fund” would be used to fund social services in the state budget, and allow contributors to deduct the donations, at a rate of 200-percent, from their taxable income.
“I think the state’s financial condition is so dire, and I think the federal tax changes are so significant in their implications, and this addresses both those issues at the same time,” Suzio, R-Meriden, said.
