Hartford tax work-off program lets residents repay taxes by work
Hartford launches a one year trial in July allowing residents with tax debts to work off up to a thousand dollars by filling existing city jobs. Clinton Webb, unemployed, spent 40 hours weekly repairing engines at the Hartford Fire Department. The plan aims to help low income homeowners while avoiding creating new jobs, with participation affecting unemployment checks and benefits. Authorities cite multiple cities showing interest and a Worcester debate on replication.
