On Wednesday, Feb. 20, in the Hall of the House of Representatives in the State Capitol, Lamont discussed his proposed budget, a two-year, $43.1 billion taxing and spending plan.
The governor said that the current budget “keeps faith with our cities, but not at the expense of our towns; maintains our commitment to education and provides additional property tax relief; tackles long-term fixed costs; focuses on a 21st-century workforce, economy and transportation system; and supports businesses and working families.”
Bridgeport leads the way, with $216,542,679 in mutual aid in 2019. That number will jump to $218,507,803 next year and $221,068,937 in 2021.
