RIP. Shootings continue in Stamford. The radical de-policing bill passed in CT in July makes it more difficult for our police to do their job—and life more dangerous for families. Vote out the politicians who passed it in 2020—and we’ll repeal in 2021.

It is certainly nice for the state employee unions that they can choose whichever arrangement they want--they have an *opt-in*! Private sector workers do not get that option. Only in CT!
@ryanfazio @mrskurantowicz In all fairness, unionized state employees can't collect from the fund either, because they're covered by collective bargaining agreements. They could be added in under a new agreement
Starting January 2021, your family will have to pay a 0.5% payroll tax thanks to the current state legislature—unless of course you’re a unionized state employee; then you’re exempt.
