This past November, we voted to elect our representatives and state senators in Hartford. Although the town of Greenwich voted Republican in three of its four races, the rest of the state leaned heavily for Democrats. Judging from early indications of proposed legislation, we have to wonder if those voters are regretting their vote.
So far, we have seen state Sen. Martin Looney (D) advocate for a new annual property tax. This will apply to any home with either an assessed value of $300,000 or a market value of $430,000. This has also been called the “mansion” tax. A name Looney himself has approved.
