Statement from Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven)
The Republican Yankee Institute is funded through the State Policy Network which funnels tens of millions of dollars from Koch Industries, tobacco companies, and the pharmaceutical industry to organizations that masquerade as non-partisan think tanks. In reality, the Republican Yankee Institute, like other members of the State Policy Network, creates highly inaccurate and misleading reports to serve the anti-worker, anti-family policies of their Republican billionaire and corporate donors. Every report from this partisan organization should come with the disclaimer “Paid for by Friends and Supporters of Donald Trump.”
