Making it Happen!

Colleen Renzullo: Real Estate Agent in Torrington, CT
First time getting my name out there! Now that the weather is getting nice - it's time for me to get out on my bike! Litchfield County is a great place to ride. Me an my biker babes group did what I called a "rolling hills farm country" ride yesterday. Up Route 118 to Litchfield, over past the Haight (sp?) Vineyard, then looping back to Klug Farm. Being out on the bicycle gives you a whole new appreciation for the beautiful countryside we take for granted here in New England. So we're out there using our leg power - burning CPMs (calories per mile) instead of MPG - and taking in the beautiful countryside!

CT Conveyence Tax extended 2 more Years

Committee Votes to Impose Higher Home Sales Tax Another Two Years; More Legislative Action Ahead

The Legislature's Finance Committee voted 29-to-21 yesterday to overturn the scheduled reduction in the municipal conveyance tax. Current law says that a 2003 emergency increase in the tax expires on June 30, 2008. Voting within twenty-four hours after thousands of anti-tax petitions were delivered by REALTORS® at the Capitol, this is a momentary setback in the campaign to save the current law's "sunset" provision. On the other hand, the Committee debate, and the fact that six Democrats joined with 15 Republicans to oppose the extra tax, is a positive sign. The Substitute was a change from the original bill, which made the extra conveyance tax permanent. Instead, the Committee-approved bill extends the higher rates to June 30, 2010. The bill, Substitute HB 5885, still MUST go to the full House and Senate.

Contact your elected officials now and pressure them to stop the double taxation on home sellers. Go to http://www.myhouse-mymoney.com/ - a website CAR has created as part of an aggressive media campaign launched to convince lawmakers to sunset the extra municipal conveyance tax. When visiting this website, you can also listen to the three different radio spots that began airing throughout the state on March 3.
