## Resource

Connecticut just handed National Guard members a major win: starting July 1, they can deduct active duty pay from state income taxes—whether called up for emergencies, war, or even serving as honor guards at veteran funerals. The state’s budget takes a hit with a $65K annual tax loss, but it’s worth it for recognizing service. Plus, military families relocating now get smoother access to the Birth-to-Three Program, and $100K in new grants will help towns keep wartime veterans’ graves well cared for.
