CONNECTICUT — Gov. Ned Lamont proposed increasing aid to towns and cities for the next fiscal year. Total municipal aid would increase from $2.81 billion in fiscal year 2022 to more than $3 billion in fiscal year 2023; about $160 million of the increase would come in the form of increased motor vehicle tax reimbursements and another $39.4 million from increases in education cost sharing. Lamont suggested capping the motor vehicle tax rate from 45 mills to 29 mills statewide. Municipalities with a rate higher than that would be reimbursed by the state to make up the difference. "We're also going to cut taxes on automobiles, so no one is struggling to pay more for a Honda in Hartford than a Hummer in Harwinton," Lamont said during his State of the State address. Below is a summary of how much each Connecticut town would get, according to the state Office of Policy and Management:
