SOUTHINGTON– Chairman of the Connecticut Republican Party, J.R. Romano issued the following statement regarding the recent news of Ned Lamont's Administration lying about the grocery tax:
"Ned Lamont's Administration lied to Connecticut when they said they didn't know about the grocery and prepared meal tax. The FOI documents released today by The Yankee Institute clearly show this is a lie and cover up by Ned's staff. It appears that the Governor's Office set up DRS to take the political fall for something he knew from the get-go: this was a tax increase.
"Families trying to feed their children will now have to pay hundreds of dollars more to pay for Ned Lamont and the Democrats' tax and spend policies. We need to be champions of the single mother working to support her children, not stand in her way for success.
"The Lamont Administration lied about their understanding and knowledge of this tax to pretend their policies aren't crippling our economy and driving families and businesses out of this state. Instead of Ned's Administration talking out of both sides of their mouth on this issue they should admit that his leadership is failing. It's no wonder why Ned Lamont is one of America's least popular governors."
