Sen. Looney & Sen. Duff Statement on Today’s Meeting with Governor Lamont & Republican Leaders


HARTFORD – Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) released a statement following today’s meeting with Governor Ned Lamont and the Republican leaders of the General Assembly:

“We had a very productive conversation with the Republican leaders and Governor Lamont to provide financial relief for Connecticut residents. Later today we will discuss with our Senate Democratic caucus members the ideas of a gas tax holiday through June 30th, free bus service, and an additional sales tax holiday this spring. Moving forward we are hopeful to pass legislation to protect consumers within the next two weeks.”
