Travelers Shareholder Meeting
Thank you to everyone who turned out on Tax Day.
The General Assembly’s Finance, Revenue & Bonding Committee passed a revenue package that incorporates many of Recovery For All’s priorities, including:
A $300 tax credit for each child (up to $900) for families earning up to $200,000 per year;
A permanent 11% increase in the Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income families with children, putting an additional $300 in their pockets to make ends meet;
Historic investments to create 10,000 new childcare slots and increase the wages of childcare workers;
and Funding for children’s mental health services to help them cope with the isolation and traumas caused by the pandemic.
The Committee also passed critical transparency measures to ensure the Department of Revenue Services provides comprehensive, uniform data to guide tax policy decisions and report how much all categories of taxpayers, including the ultra-wealthy and mega-profitable corporations, pay.
SPONSORED BY RECOVERY FOR ALL
Additionally – Recovery for All had a press conference last week to release two new reports exposing the Yankee Institute as a right-wing think tank which has exerted a destructive influence over public policy here in Connecticut for far too long. Here's the first report and here's the second report. CCAG pointed out that the Yankee Institute shares donors and ties with Koch Industries, which is still doing business in Russia despite its invasion of Ukraine. The reports were covered in CTNewsJunkie and CTInsider (which Hearst Media reprinted in local newspapers statewide). Separately, RFA is also mentioned in this Courant article about tax incidence analysis reports.
