Please enter a response for each multiple choice question.

 

Budget
1.)
Should the state legislature adopt a two-year ‘no tax increase’ budget similar to proposals offered by Governor Rell and Republican legislators or the competing Democratic plan which would raise taxes by $3.3 billion?



Citizen's Election Program
2.)
A law authorizing public funding for candidates for state elective offices was enacted in 2007 and financed the election expenses of most candidates for the state legislature in 2008. Should this law, which created the Citizens Election Program (CEP), remain on the books for the 2010 election or should it be repealed and the tax dollars the CEP will provide to candidates to pay their campaign expenses be used to help eliminate the state’s budget deficit?



 

Death Penalty
3.)
Do you support Governor Rell’s decision to veto legislation that would have abolished the death penalty in Connecticut and replaced it with life in prison?



Three Strikes
4.)
Should the state legislature enact a ‘three strikes’ law that would require judges to impose mandatory life sentences on repeat violent offenders convicted of a third crime of violence such as murder, rape, home invasion or kidnapping?
