Quinnipiac University today released their latest poll on which budget the people of Connecticut are in favor of. Only 16% of those surveyed said that they supported Governor Rell's budget proposal, while 33% said that they were in favor of the Democrats' budget.
A whopping 41% of Connecticut residents support the "NO Tax Increase" Budget plan unveiled by House Republican Leader Larry Cafero two weeks ago. The Republicans' budget relies on different revenue projections, that they say are more in line with actual revenues realized over the past fifteen years. They maintain current funding levels for all programs and make investments in key areas like energy, education, and healthcare. I don't know about you but considering their superminority status, for the House Republicans to present a budget in opposition to their own Governor's and the Democrat's, and for that plan to have gained as much traction as it has is remarkable. Credit Cafero with showing some leadership and giving Republicans someone to believe in at the Capitol.
