Senator Cathy Osten, D-Sprague, said, “I’m very happy to vote for a bipartisan budget – a truly bipartisan budget – which stabilizes state funding for cities and towns and local taxpayers, protects vital services for some of our most vulnerable citizens, protects funding for our educational system from pre-kindergarten through college, provides college scholarship funding for those who need it, provides relief for homeowners suffering from crumbling foundations, and which stabilizes our parks and tourism funds. This is also a budget that the business community will like as there are no broad-based tax increases in it. In the end, the most important thing is that this is the budget that the citizens of Connecticut were asking us to pass – a bipartisan budget.”
