This morning I called on Congress to restore federal commuter tax benefits that help thousands of CT residents. As of January 1, 2014, the amount of money commuters can set aside to pay for their public transit costs before taxes decreased from $245 to $130 per month. The expiration of the commuter mass transit benefit has cost some public transit users up to $1,000 in additional costs annually. Failure to revive this tax benefit will harm working families and small businesses, as well as clog the roads, contaminate our air, raise gasoline usage, cost consumers, and impose unfair discrimination against mass transit users. I am proud to stand with commuter advocates in this fight for fairness and will continue my efforts when back in Washington. j.mp/1A7zWXp
