Working for trumbull

Rep Rutigliano is proud to have stood with Trumbull Commuters against plans to toll state highways. Rep Rutigliano also supported two NO tax increase budgets.  David is committed to smart solutions to improve our infrastructure. 

He  continues to focus on solutions that create opportunities for our young people, so if they choose they can stay here in CT and start their own families.   Connecticut does not always have to be last and on the losing end of things.  If we can restore balance to our system of taxation, reform regulations, and fix our aging infrastructure we can turn things around.  Connecticut has so much to offer if we could just set our economy free

"We in Connecticut have a unique opportunity.   This year citizens of Connecticut have the opportunity to change course.  We have the opportunity to start what will be a long process of repairing what has been broken. With a new legislator we can begin to re-build our economy, re-build our infrastructure, and most importantly re-build our reputation. Much damage has been done over the years, especially under the Malloy and Lamont administrations. He is committed to being part of the process to rebuild.

Rep. Rutigliano Pushes for Lower State Tax Burden

Picture
“I am stunned by the continued lack of understanding when it comes to basis economics. In the last 8 years Connecticut has raised taxes 3 times, including the two largest in the state’s history only to find out the state revenue collections fall short each year,” said Rep. Rutigliano. “The message the majority party and Dan Malloy keeps sending residents is ‘please leave our state’ as they have their hand in your wallet.”

"Until state leaders curb spending, create a stable tax and regulatory landscape and stop passing legislation that fuels Connecticut’s anti-business climate, we will continue to suffer from a lagging economy and shrinking workforce. I stand with my colleagues in opposing any additional burden, we need to instead dramatically cut state spending and government regulation so that we are able to cut taxes and grow jobs; therefore keeping more people in our wonderful state,” said Rep. Rutigliano.

Rutigliano co-INTRODUCES Pay Equity bill

Picture
​HARTFORD- State Rep. David Rutigliano (R-123) hailed passage of a bipartisan pay equity bill that approved overwhelmingly in the Connecticut House of Representatives today. 
The legislation is House Bill 5386, An Act Concerning Various Pay Equity and Fairness Matters, aims to prevent unintended pay discrimination in the state. Under the bill, employers will be prohibited during a hiring process from inquiring about a prospective candidate’s previous salary history until an offer of employment with compensation has been offered. The legislation was crafted in a way to protect recruiters, employment agencies and to allow for a discussion of benefits and stock options if relevant to the position. 
Rep. Rutigliano, was the House Republican Chief Negotiator on the legislation, and said “the bill is a big step toward insuring fairness in our state.”
Rutigliano worked with New Haven State Rep. Robin Porter on the compromise legislation.
 “ It is  perceived to be hindrance to income growth,  if a female job candidate starts out at a lower salary at her previous job than that trend could continue through her working life, this bill addresses that issue, ” said Rep. Rutigliano. “This bill provides good equity for women, and does not penalize business, it inspires them.”

Rutigliano & Devlin Support Stopping Governor from Significant Mid-Year Cutting of Education

“Midyear cuts, like the one Gov. Malloy made in December to Trumbull have a negative impact on our community. Consequently these late changes are likely to impact the requests next fiscal year as the basic funding provided by the state is less, and potentially forcing financially stable communities to dip again into their reserves. Just because the governor mismanages the state doesn’t mean he should punish our cities and towns,” said Rep. Rutigliano.

David Rutigliano, Laura Devlin and Ben McGorty along with their House and Senate Republicans released their second complete balanced budget in a week

  • Restores funding to the Medicare Savings Program (MSP)
  • Fully funds the Teacher Pension account
  • Pays more into the state employee retirement fund, funds the Retired Teachers’ Healthcare Fund
  • Fully funds the FY 2019 enacted Education Cost Sharing grants and protects funding for our state fire training schools.
“This budget plan begins the process of rebuilding Connecticut’s economy without the need for tolls or new taxes. It’s time to restore fiscal sanity to the State Capitol,” Rep. Rutigliano said. Governor Malloy and the majority party have continually threatened Trumbull with massive cuts to education and town road aid. This budget protects Trumbull taxpayers. Inaction is unacceptable.”
