Ned Lamont on Budget & Economy

Democratic Challenger

 


Small business boost fund invested in over 100 new companies

Our small business boost fund has invested in over 100 new and expanding companies, and most of these companies are led by women and entrepreneurs of color. I spent 30 years in business, and I see opportunity through the lens of starting small businesses & helping them grow. But innovation doesn't begin and end in the private sector. I want all of our state employees to be empowered to innovate as well. We rely too much on subsidies instead of innovation to provide better service at less cost.

$30M in COVID relief to restaurants, hospitality industry

Gov. Ned Lamont unveiled a plan his administration says will offer $30 million in relief funds to restaurants and other hospitality businesses impacted by the pandemic. "So many locally owned small businesses in the hospitality sector are continuing to recover from the pandemic, and any bit of relief that can be provided will help support them and their workers," Lamont said in a statement.

No more funny math in budget; balanced for future

Let's fix this damn budget, once and for all! In six weeks, I will present to you a budget which is in balance not just for a year, but for the foreseeable future; so that mayors and first selectmen, business and labor leaders, teachers and police officers know what to expect. However, I want to be clear--no more funny math or budgetary gamesmanship. Don't tell me some consultant says there are $1 billion in easy spending cuts; show me the money or I will show you the door.
