And lastly, if our budget is a representation of our core values, we must make significant progress towards racial justice and equity; not as a single budget item, rather as a pervasive reach into all our programs and priorities. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Every action we take in response to COVID-19 is in the interest of the economy and public health and safety. We must do so knowing exactly how it positions us on our shared path to continued fiscal health and broad-based economic opportunity for all of our citizens. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve always said, we don’t need more taxes, we need more taxpayers, and they are already paying dividends as you can see by our balanced budget. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

CT is a beautiful state with beaches, mountains, and parks all within a short drive from one another, great schools which were more likely to be open and open safely, not to mention expanding job opportunities. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Over the last year, we’ve experienced a real estate boom in CT. With tens of thousands of new residents discovering what they’ve always known. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we are using that same testing model to make COVID-19 vaccinations widely available at hospitals and clinics, stadiums, as well as bringing the vaccine to our hardest hit communities. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

We need to do more to rein in costs. Working in concert with MA, my affordable care package will limit price increases on pharmaceuticals and our premium support leveraged with significant federal dollars will lower costs for all of our families & small businesses. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Healthcare savings are also important to family budgets across Connecticut.   Last September, working on behalf of those families, my administration reduced rate increases for 2021 and saved 200,000 residents nearly $100 million in health insurance costs. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

The Special Transportation Fund is broken and it needs to be fixed.   The current state of our transportation fund keeps us from accessing these federal funds and risks our ability to fund infrastructure projects we desperately need to revitalize our economy. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

I will also be sending a bill to the legislature to provide expanded broadband access for those communities large and small which have been left behind in the digital revolution. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

This is all the more necessary and urgent given how many of our residents have suffered from unemployment due to the COVID pandemic. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

A high-quality workforce development program will ensure better outcomes for our state’s residents and help our businesses to hire from and continue to grow here in the state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

More than 44,000 new businesses were registered in the state last year – one of our best years ever. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

This past summer, I announced the creation of https://t.co/fuzGf5NweI, an online one-stop-shop where entrepreneurs can easily find information and complete everything required to start up and manage their businesses here in Connecticut. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

One of the many lessons reinforced by this pandemic: the importance of our small businesses-not only to the economy, but to our communities. Small businesses are so much more than places of employment, they are the bedrock on which our towns, cities, and neighborhoods are built. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Additional education funding also will allow our towns and cities to hold the line on property tax increases, doing more to keep Connecticut affordable for you. #CTComeback @CT_COST @CCM_ForCT — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Building on our best-of-class state university system, the new federal Higher Ed Relief Fund will provide $140 million for public higher education, which covers higher COVID-related costs and support for CT students who are having a difficult time affording education. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

We need to be doing everything we can to help our kids, many of whom have not been in the classroom for many months. With strong federal support in excess of $400 million, our budget provides all the resources our schools need to let our kids stay in school safely. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

A as we accomplished two years ago, my budget is achieved without broad-based tax increases, reducing municipal aid, or cutting any existing services. These are commitments I will not break. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Due in large part to the steps we have taken to mitigate the spread of the virus and manage our state’s finances, CT is one of the best positioned states in the country. Thanks to the good people of this great state who took the public health precautions seriously. #CTComeback — PolitiTweet.org
