This bill is based in science, they said. That's what Democrats want you to believe about SB 503, their latest attempt to rid violent criminals of any accountability, even if they committed a murder, as long as they were under the age of 26. This is the same science that allows children to smoke ma*****na, receive an abortion, and even certain gender transition surgeries.

House Republicans contend that while Democrats are coddling criminals, we should be caring more about the victims of these heinous crimes. Not to mention, where are they getting this so-called science?

State Rep. Nick Menapace (East Lyme, Salem, Montville) launched an unhinged social media attack on Republicans and a a member of our caucus late Thursday over our common sense amendments to fix a Democrat bill that targets federal immigration officials while also making life more difficult for local law enforcement officers. Apparently, Rep. Menapace couldn't handle the debate (he never participated) or the fact that members of his own House Democratic caucus thought our amendments made sense and voted for them. More on the controversy...and Rep. Menapace:

When local police arrest an illegal immigrant for a serious crime — say, child grooming or manslaughter with a firearm—it's common sense that federal immigration authorities should know about it. Democrats disagree. They voted against a Republican amendment that would have allowed local law enforcement to communicate directly with federal immigration officials. Rep. Fishbein, House Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, described the current state of affairs in Connecticut.

House Democrats have approved a four-year contract handing members of a government union conglomerate at least an 18% salary increase over the life of the deal, costing taxpayers more than $2 billion. Worse still, this deal bundles multiple bargaining units, making it impossible for legislators to evaluate what's appropriate for each unit, how to attract and retain talent in each career field, or whether taxpayers are getting real value. And what did Gov. Lamont get at the bargaining table? A panel to review work-from-home benefits enjoyed by employees drawing an average salary of $100,000. These raises will only deepen our already crushing pension debt.

🚫 Connecticut simply cannot afford this.

For years, residents have struggled with the high cost of living here. Fed up property taxpayers are now rejecting local budgets. The governor wants to squeeze more money from our struggling healthcare system. And Democrats are burning through the excess revenue that should be paying down our massive pension debt.

⚠️ We are headed for a financial cliff, one the next biennial budget will make painfully clear.

When House Republicans push for tax relief, Democrats say no. Their reason? Sustainability. But apparently "sustainability" only matters when it comes to cutting your taxes, not when they're writing a $2 billion check to government unions.

That's not fiscal responsibility. That's fiscal hypocrisy.
