Senate President Offers Statement on Latest Q-Poll
Senator Donald E. Williams, Jr. (D-Brooklyn) says the public supports the democratic legislature on key issues
“It is clear that on so many key issues, people support the Democrats.”
- “Connecticut residents believe the millionaires’ tax is a fair way of helping to balance the budget.
- They overwhelming oppose tax breaks for the wealthy — something that Gov. Rell insisted be a part of the final budget.
- Residents believe the governor’s public posturing delayed the budget process.
- People say the governor’s unwillingness to share responsibility for a budget that she helped craft was a cop-out.”
“Going forward, it is crucial that the governor carry out her significant responsibilities to make the budget cuts a reality. The deep spending reductions in this budget will require belt-tightening and smart choices by executive branch agencies. We urge the governor to meet immediately and frequently with her commissioners to ensure that the requisite cost savings are achieved while critical services are maintained.”
