See how much your town stands to get if Gov. Ned Lamont's proposed budget is approved.
CONNECTICUT — Gov. Ned Lamont proposed increasing aid to towns and cities for the next fiscal year.
Total municipal aid would increase from $2.81 billion in fiscal year 2022 to more than $3 billion in fiscal year 2023; about $160 million of the increase would come in the form of increased motor vehicle tax reimbursements and another $39.4 million from increases in education cost sharing.
Lamont suggested capping the motor vehicle tax rate from 45 mills to 29 mills statewide. Municipalities with a rate higher than that would be reimbursed by the state to make up the difference.
