GOP gubernatorial nominee asks Boughton for income tax phase-out plan

Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton has been asked by Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob Stefanowski for a copy of his plan to phase out the income tax.  The GOP primary winner has been short on details during debate of how he would implement his campaign promise to eliminate the tax. 

 

The Courant reports that Boughton, the GOP endorsed candidate, shared his two-year proposal for cutting spending in order to make up the gap.  Boughton initially told Stefanowski that the plan was kind of proprietary, but said he is a team player.

 

His plan calls for employee workforce reductions, state agency eliminations and other efficiencies.  Some require legislative approval, others a constitutional amendment and the balance could be done through executive order. 

 

Boughton told the Courant that the Stefanowski camp had their own ideas too, and they came up with a good couple of first years plan. Stefanowski’s campaign said David Stemerman and Dave Walker regularly participate in weekly conference calls on policy matters.
