As State Property Tax Proposed
Connecticut Taxpayers Will Pay $125 Million for
BY JON LENDER, jlender@courant.com The Hartford
Courant

The vast majority of the state's 45,000 unionized and
non-unionized employees will begin getting raises of 5 to 6 percent on Monday,
when the state's new fiscal year begins, officials said Tuesday. The cost of
the raises has been budgeted at $125 million for the 12-month fiscal period
that ends June 30, 2014, although it might not end up being that high,
depending on vacant positions and other factors, said Ben Barnes, budget chief
for Gov. Dannel P.
Malloy…….. The highest longevity
payments for non-union managers are $12,000 or $13,000 a year. Take for example
an employee whose annual payments total $12,000. Dividing that by 26 comes out
to $461 — which is the amount that would be added to that employee's paycheck
from now on…….As of April of 2011, more than 3,000 non-unionized employees were
receiving longevity payments, with about 1,000 of them getting two such
payments of at least $2,500 each year. Since then, some of those employees have
retired and no new totals were available Tuesday….. As of April 2011, 25,433
unionized state employees were receiving longevity payments totaling $23
million a year. Again, retirements have diminished those totals, but no new
figures were available Tuesday. Continue

Connecticut's massive long-term debt, deep pockets of
poverty and more than 20 years of stagnant job growth threaten to sink the
state's economy for decades unless major reforms are enacted, according to a report Wednesday
from a national fiscal responsibility group and the University of Connecticut's
economic think-tank.
