Why no prepayment by Dec. 31?

The headline read,"Prepay 2018 taxes? It's not allowed," (Dec. 29). My question is: "Why not?"

It would have benefitted the citizenry with a little tax break and helped the towns with some early cash. Many times when I have repairs done on my home, the builder wants advance payments to buy materials. So why can't the towns accept early payments from those who want to pay?

The governor was wrong in not signing an executive order allowing municipalities to accept prepayment of taxes.

How about it, Gov. Malloy, why didn't you consider giving us taxpayers a chance to get a break? Everyone would have benefitted.
