Ridgefield a Big Loser of State Under Malloy's New Plan

Ridgefield sees a 39 percent reduction - or more than $700,000 less in state funding under plan proposed by Governor Malloy.

RIDGEFIELD, CT - The bad news keeps coming for Connecticut municipalities as the state attempts to claw out from under its budget mess.

Under Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's revised, proposed adjustments to the fiscal year 2019 budget previously adopted by the legislature state municipal aid would be cut nearly $100 million - both in the education and non-education side.

Ridgefield would receive 39 percent - or $712,207 less under Malloy's plan. Previously it was slated to get $1.8 million; now, $1.1 million.
