CT Tax Storm on the rise
Prepare yourself, Connecticut may yet again be under another tax attack. Governor Malloy has announced his plan to increase the gasoline tax by 7cpg, creating a new $3 tax on each tire sold in CT, and accelerating a previously approved sales tax on new cars. If that is not enough, the plan also intends to fund the special transportation fund (STF) through implementing tolls.
