Tom Foley on Welfare & Poverty

	Tom Foley on Welfare & Poverty

New urban enterprise zones and urban renewal initiatives

I want everyone in Connecticut to have a job that pays much more than the minimum wage so workers can comfortably support themselves and their family and move on to even greater opportunities. Governor Malloy hasn't done that with his huge tax increase and other policies that have cost us jobs and hurt working families. I am running for governor because I want to turn that around. I want everyone in Connecticut to have a job that pays much more than the minimum wage so workers can comfortably support themselves and their family and move on to even greater opportunities.

I have a plan for bringing more and better jobs to Connecticut including new urban enterprise zones, workforce training programs, better transportation access to New Haven and Bridgeport, and urban renewal initiatives. Working together with our legislature, creating more and better jobs for Connecticut's working families will be my number one priority as governor.
