I will not link this as I think its paywall stuff, but Ganim wants a waiver on the airport requiring one party in a sale to address remediation issue. (Property Transfer program of 1980s added the requirement.).

The legislature seeks to rework it to allow manufacturing dormant sites to sell with more ease. That waiver of responsibility while they remain contaminated IMHO is a big mistake.

Why we are not remediating them via part of our huge state surplus mystifies me. We can do so where back taxes have led to government owning sites.

Now Ganim should seek the AGI cleanup (about 8 million-reasonable) without tying the outrageous 100 million plus Poli/Majestic restoration. IMO, it will pass at an 8 million cost. The state wisely said no when it was part of a 108 million package deal. The Naugatuck Valley recently started a partial Farrell remediation.

That should be the process. Seek 10 million and under costs site remediations the government owns, proactively clean them, and now we could market them.

Governor Lamont is proposing an Income Tax cut. What do you think? Is it enough? Is it too much? Jay

It's not enough, but I credit him for starting the proposal rolling, assuming he has the spine to force the legislature to go along using any measures needed for that.

I do agree with stopping the cut at the 50k single/100k married bracket, as we overtax the daylights below 50k. I am ok with that bracket paying sales taxes, but 5% state income tax should have started at 50k, not at 10k as it does now.

Taxing people $25,000 single/$50,000 married 3% (like it is now) in CT is just cruel. It should be -0-.

This is a very modest cut in the lower middle class and legitimately impoverished. Nice sentiment but will have no effect whatsoever on the economy or economic climate. Good for the campaign trail though and for the truly destitute. There’s real value in that.
