Supporting The United Way's Policy Agenda
This week I joined The United Way and non-profit community leaders and colleagues to unveil their latest policy agenda for 2025 at the State Capitol on Tuesday.
Their goal is to help income-constrained families. According to the United Way, Connecticut is the only state in the nation that taxes a family’s income but does not provide them with tax relief to offset the high cost of raising children.
