They’re focused on reshaping how towns fund services, easing burdens on households and schools, and tackling public misunderstanding of just how central property taxes are to daily life. Key proposals include shifting costly special education expenses from towns to the state, diversifying local revenue beyond property taxes, cutting expenses, and ensuring equity—especially for renters and low-income residents. Their report, timed to pressure candidates ahead of November’s elections and set to spark debate in next year’s legislative session, could finally push Connecticut toward a long-overdue fix for what Comptroller Sean Scanlon calls a crisis.
