With a critical special session of the General Assembly set to convene on September 23 and 24, Connecticut Conference of Municipalities has urged Towns to announce the following link -- http://ccm-ct.org/advocacy/2008-2009/090909.html to provide citizens information on this session.
In Summary, CCM’s Unfinished Municipal Relief Agenda calls on the State to:
· Pass a state bond package that adequately funds aid for local roads and bridges and school construction grants
· Enact real mandates relief, which will cost the State nothing. At a minimum, the General Assembly should delay implementation of in-school suspension requirements, and the “raise-the- age” juvenile justice mandate.
· Make permanent the present rates of the municipal real estate conveyance tax. That will protect over $30 million in non-property tax revenue, without costing the State a dime.
