Malloy Backs Off Business Taxes

[NutmegYankee]

HARTFORD — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy responded to harsh criticism from several major Connecticut employers by proposing Friday to roll back some of the planned increases in corporate income taxes included in the Democratic budget approved by the legislature.

Top leaders of the General Assembly's Democratic majority said that they hadn't been consulted by the governor about his proposed revisions, only being informed shortly before he announced his plan at a news conference Friday morning.

"Obviously, we will consider the governor's proposals," said the Senate's top Democrat, Martin M. Looney of New Haven. "This is brand-new."

Republican legislative leaders claimed that Malloy "is now in full retreat from his budget … as he backpedals on policies that he and the Democratic leaders are responsible for."
