Who Will You Vote For on November 6th?
"It's ______________, Stupid!"

"It's ______________, Stupid!"
​

  • Bill Clinton famously filled in the blank with the words, “The Economy.”
  • How will you fill in the blank to choose the candidates you will support?
  • Whatever issue(s) you consider most important at the national level, you must also decide what matters most to your choices for State offices.
  • Fairfield Taxpayer believes that the key issue for all State offices in 2018 is CT’s weak economy – unless CT can generate stronger economic growth, its tax base, both incomes and property values, and the quality of its public services will all continue to decline. 
  • After 30 years with no job growth and facing daunting fiscal challenges, it will not be easy to generate stronger growth.  We will have to cut overall spending, raise some taxes and lower others, reduce the annual cost of unfunded retirement liabilities, and improve our infrastructure (e.g., I-95 congestion and Metro North reliability and travel times). 
  • Most important, we need different priorities and a different culture in our State Capitol that understands the critical importance of creating a business-friendly environment that can attract, retain and grow businesses and jobs.
  • We urge you to vote for the State candidates you think are most likely to reverse CT’s economic decline because as CT goes, so goes the vast majority of its towns, including Fairfield and our property values.
