CCM Committee Urges Income Tax to Aid Towns

The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities urges overhauling the tax system by adopting a personal income tax to boost state aid to cities and towns. A CCM legislative committee will present the plan on October 7 in North Haven for consideration by municipal leaders ahead of the 1977 General Assembly. The package seeks reduced reliance on property taxes, broader tax base, and expanded economic development while calling for higher spending restraints and strengthened revenue sharing to relieve local levies. The move follows long political controversy over income taxes in Connecticut and varying support from business leaders and civic groups while courts weigh school funding legality. Massachusetts currently prioritizes property taxes more than Connecticut.
