The real estate market is one of the most vital parts of our economy and one of the most important aspects of our families and businesses economic well-being. We need to enact measures in Connecticut that will stimulate our real estate market, create new jobs and make Connecticut once again a place where families and businesses can live and prosper. My plan for achieving this calls for (1) lower taxes on families and businesses, including a phase out of the income, pension, dividend and estate taxes (2) fewer burdensome state regulations (3) less wasteful government spending including renegotiation of unsustainable state labor agreements (4) improved transportation systems with better roads and rails – and no return of tolls on our highways (5) renewed investment in quality education for our communities.”
