• Connecticut Voices for Children reports increasing economic inequality in the state and suggests implementing the EITC in conjunction with raising the minimum wage to combat the problem.
• Republican Delegate Matthew Rohrbach has sponsored a bill for a West Virginia EITC. A state EITC is the path to middle class for many lower income families and has bipartisan support. For more information, visit Invest in West Virginia Families.
