Sen. Suzio Updates Cheshire Rotary

Sen. Len Suzio (center) chats with Cheshire Rotary Immediate Past President David Schumacher (right) and Cheshire Rotary President Ellen McKinley (left) prior to the Rotary’s May 4 dinner meeting at The Waverly Inn.  Suzio has endorsed a no tax hike state budget plan which increases education funding while enacting a cap on state spending and bonding.  Suzio successfully worked to scuttle the Malloy administration’s controversial plan to spend $300,000 of taxpayer money to study a potential mileage tax.  He is also working to create a state Citizens In Need account to pay for social services that have been reduced or eliminated due to state budget cuts.  Through Suzio’s plan, taxpayers may make voluntary contributions to a Citizens In Need account and be eligible for a 200 % deduction toward the calculation of their taxable income for state income tax purposes. Suzio represents Cheshire, Meriden, Middlefield, Middletown and Rockfall.  He can be reached at [email protected] or call 800-842-1421.  On the web:www.SenatorSuzio.com and www.cheshirerotary.org .
