Gov. Malloy says he’s prepared to make compromises, but the GOP budget is unacceptable because it raises taxes, defunds pensions and takes money away from the state university system.
I have received confirmation from the non-partisan Office of Fiscal Analysis that the Republicans' "teacher tax" goes into the General Fund, not the Teachers' Retirement System.
Every Connecticut public school teacher has to contribute 1% of their salary for half of this year, and 2% of all of next year's salary to the state's general fund!
