Seniors, get ready to ‘tighten your belts’

March 18, 2024 7:19 am • Last Updated: March 18, 2024 7:19 am

To all you seniors in Connecticut out there, heads up! I just got my taxes done and I was shocked. Last year, I didn’t make enough money for Connecticut to charge me income tax, so I got all my money that I paid. This year, I had to pay over $300, because they changed the tax laws. What a great state we live in. Thank you, Governor Lamont and the Democrats in Hartford for raising my taxes. I guess I can skip a few meals now. How about you?
