Connecticut's multiple layers of government has led to inefficiency in the use of the limited revenue streams that taxpayers provide government. We need to continue to work to encourage municipalities to work together to provide the services that taxpayers demand. There are millions of dollars that can be saved by combining many costly back office operations that do not impact the quality or availability of services. We can longer afford to deal with regional issues, economic and workforce development, public safety and land use/development, on a town-by-town basis
