Municipalities release recommendations for state to erase projected deficit

The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities has released a set of recommendations for the General Assembly to consider as the state works to close a $1.4 billion projected deficit in the next two fiscal years.  CCM, headed by Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, is calling for lowering the state sales tax, but adding a local sales tax.  The recommendations also include having municipalities charge utility companies for use of public-right of ways, eliminate the health insurance premium tax on municipalities and give municipalities the option to tack on a 1-percent local sales tax on restaurant bills.
