Guglielmo Applauds Budget for Addressing Crumbling Foundations

HARTFORD, Conn. – State Sen. Tony Guglielmo (R-35) on Saturday released the following statement regarding the General Assembly’s approval of the Republican Budget. A budget that he said "increases education funding, funds core social services, includes substantial structural changes and provides relief for homeowner’s with crumbling foundations."

“This is a great budget, a budget that doesn’t include new taxes, but actually reduces them. It also provides relief to those in Eastern Connecticut who are dealing with the heart-breaking problem of crumbling foundations,” Guglielmo said. “This budget establishes a crumbling foundations agency to distribute grants for replacement foundations, sets aside bonding money and hires independent adjusters to settle claims.

“This budget also takes the first steps in addressing our state’s fiscal crisis, it sets us on a responsible course and I commend those who had the courage to stand up for the future of our state.”

The $40.7 billion two-year state budget now heads to the desk of Governor Malloy for his signature.
