To the Editor:
The finances of our state government are a mess!
The blame must be placed on the overwhelming Democrat majority in Hartford.
Seventy-five percent of the seats are controlled by Democrats. Governor Rell proposed spending cuts this spring and the Democrats countered with spending increases, tax increases, and one-time revenue gimmicks we will all have to pay for in the future.
Why would Monroe want to send another tax and spend Democrat to Hartford?
Connecticut has a problem in Hartford!
The Democrat majority canât stop spending your money, increasing the size and scope of government, and taxing or regulating job producing business out of our state. Binding arbitration laws drive up our property taxes and escalating property taxes drive out seniors and individuals in fragile economic condition. Hartford Democrats continue to spend more and tax more if left in control.
Why would Monroe want to send another tax and spend Democrat to Hartford?
Monroe has the solution!
Our State Representative DebraLee Hovey has served us well for the past eight years.
She has been thoughtful, dedicated, and has supported balanced budgets without tax increases.
She has supported the protection of our farms and community character. She has brought Monroe and Newtown aid as appropriate for the benefit of all residents.
Why wouldnât Monroe send another tax and spend Democrat to Hartford?
Because we have DebraLee Hovey who has proven to be effective, loyal, and committed to the future of Monroe and Newtown.
