Connecticut should remove the public benefits charge from electric bills.
Background
Connecticut electric bills include a public benefits charge that pays for programs such as energy efficiency, solar incentives and some power contracts. Removing it would lower bills and require those programs to be cut or paid for another way.
Then I'm the guy responsible for turning the public benefits charge into a credit, saving you about 15% on your on your bill as of, say, compared to a year ago.
Using state bond funding as a means of reducing public benefits charges is one action we can take to provide some savings on consumers' electric bills, but I must stress that this is only one step

Connecticut should keep funding rooftop solar incentives through electric bills.
Background
Connecticut pays incentives to homes and businesses that install solar panels, and the cost is collected from all electric customers. A 2026 law extended those programs.
As we transition to a cleaner energy future, we must make sure that every family, especially those struggling with high utility bills, can share the benefits.

Connecticut should repeal its limits on local police cooperation with federal immigration agents.
Background
Connecticut's Trust Act limits when state and local police can hold people or share information for federal immigration agents. Repealing those limits would let local agencies cooperate more broadly.
I think that the governor was wrong and radical in tying the hands of state and federal law enforcement in communicating with federal authorities in the case of people who are here illegally, who have been convicted of Class C, D and E felonies like manslaughter and sexual abuse.
Our laws do not prevent federal authorities from enforcing immigration law. Rather, they reflect a longstanding principle: the federal government cannot require states to use their personnel or resources to carry out federal enforcement responsibilities.

Connecticut should bar immigration arrests at schools, hospitals and courthouses without a judicial warrant.
Background
A 2026 Connecticut law defines schools, hospitals, courthouses and places of worship as protected areas for these arrests. Keeping it means a judge's warrant is needed to arrest people there.
So it's constitutionally a lie for anyone who's taken fifth grade civics. Plus, I wonder if he would label as 'extreme' the Democratic members of the legislature who voted no on that legislation.
There are a lot of folks who belong in this state, and that's what this law is all about. We love you. We care about you. They belong in this state, and I want you to feel like you're at home here.

Connecticut should require towns to plan and zone for more affordable housing.
Background
Towns in Connecticut largely control their own zoning, and a recent state law adds requirements to plan for more housing. This would keep or expand those state requirements on towns.
This bill tells mayors and first selectmen 'What do you want your town to look like in five or 10 years? Start planning accordingly. Where do you want that housing to go? Are you going to zone accordingly?'

Cap annual property tax increases (the product of the mill rate and existing assessments) at the greater of: the rate of inflation, subject to a minor adjustment; or 2 percent.

Connecticut should let small businesses band together to buy large-group health insurance.
Background
Small businesses usually buy insurance in the small-group market, which has different rules and prices than large-group plans. This would let groups of small employers pool together as one large buyer.
I'll pass the bipartisan association health plans that will give more choice and lower costs to families, and I'll pass certificate of need reform to eliminate the red tape that drives up the cost of healthcare.
That allows you to be part of a bigger pool up there on the exchange. We get you a $1,000 credit to make it a little easier for you to administer this for the folks that work here right now, save you a little bit of money and make sure the folks have the care that they need.
Connecticut should extend its budget spending and borrowing limits after they expire in 2028.
Background
Connecticut's fiscal guardrails cap spending and borrowing and send surplus revenue to reserves and pension debt. The current rules are set to expire after 2028 unless extended.
