HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Republicans are demanding a special session to cut more taxes, calling the 25-cent-per-gallon gas tax holiday “embarrassing” now that prices are near $5 a gallon in the state and inflation continues to affect the price of goods and services. Tuesday’s announcement comes the same day Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont launched a campaign ad touting recent tax-cutting measures. Considering the state is currently flush with cash, GOP legislative leaders proposed using much of that money to cut income and sales taxes, suspend the diesel tax, repeal an upcoming mileage tax on large trucks, and boost energy assistance.
