Lamont is the candidate who has the good ideas

-

Of all the candidates for governor Ned Lamont has the most well thought out ideas for Connecticu­t’s problems. Just compare the candidates’ websites.

On “Building a Fair Economy” Lamont will work for equal pay for equal work, paid family leave, $15 minimum wage. He created and grew a successful business here in Connecticu­t, not for internatio­nal corporatio­ns in other countries. He understand­s the needs of small and large businesses.

On transporta­tion, Lamont recognizes Connecticu­t must raise money for our highways. In spite of President Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric on infrastruc­ture, we know no help will come from Washington.

Lamont recognizes that Connecticu­t’s property tax system is broken. He plans to restore and expand the property tax credit for working families.

On education Lamont will invest in vo-tec, job training, and workforce management. He’ll bring employers and educationa­l institutio­ns together to prepare Connecticu­t residents for well-paying jobs.

Lamont gives back to the state. He lives, votes, and works in Connecticu­t.

Compare the candidates’ websites. One of them proposes cutting the income tax and three other taxes — a sure way to bankrupt the state.
