FEATURED STORY
Sen. Gordon Votes No on Appropriations Budget Over Lack of Needed Education Funding
HARTFORD, CT – State Senator Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock) voted “NO” on the Appropriations Committee’s proposed budget because it fails to meaningfully increase funding for the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant, a critical source of state support for K-12 public education in the 35th District and across Connecticut. He also voted “NO” because the proposed budget is not balanced, was not fully vetted with the state’s revenue estimates, and misses key priorities like education funding support for our towns.
“The people of Connecticut want common sense, a fair deal, and their state government to work for them. They know what is best for their families and them. My goal is to take this message to the Capitol for you, working to deliver solutions that make your lives better.”
