Issue Position: A Statewide Property Tax

Issues: Budget, Spending and Taxes
Our local property tax system exacerbates economic and racial disparities. It's the reason Greenwich has a property tax rate of 11 mills, while Hamden's latest budget set the rate at almost 50 mills. A single, statewide property tax would equalize tax rates, easing the burden on Hamden residents and making public education funding equitable across Connecticut.
