Subject: Land value tax bill becomes law in Connecticut
To:

Good news! Today, June 16, 2015 Governor Malloy signed HB 7060 into law. This bill will extend the time for cities to fill out the required paperwork for the land value tax pilot program.  We are grateful to the many officials of the municipal and state level who recognized the need, including Representative Aundre Bumgardner (who introduced the original bill),  Mayor Finch of Bridgeport, Representative Steve Stofstrom, and Majority Leader Senator Martin Looney who placed LVT extension into his SB 1 omnibus bill.

Connecticut more than ever needs new choices for municipal finance. Connecticut has increased total taxes in the rest of the budget, and is furthering an unsustainable fiscal infrastructure. Frankly, Connecticut is getting deeper in trouble, which does mean increased opportunities for innovative and even radical solutions to be taken seriously through empirical research ongoing outreach and education so the ideas of Henry George may spend and enter the consciousness of our elected officials

Rest assured CSE will be working closely and intensely with Bridgeport and other cities to wrap up their application process as soon as possible. Without your ongoing support, CSE would not be able to do this work.
