Congressman Larson's Committees

HARTFORD, CT — The Connecticut Department of Public Health unveiled a new public awareness video campaign Wednesday featuring bright, charismatic characters and catchy music to help parents and caregivers make informed decisions regarding vaccines for their children.

For Connecticut homeowners whose foundations are crumbling, repairs entail more than just the foundation itself. Related costs include patching up the driveway, repairing basements, porches, garages and landscaping.

Programs, like the Connecticut Foundation Solutions Indemnity Company (CFSIC), are designed to help ease the financial burden of foundation repairs, but don’t extend to parts of the projects that go beyond the foundation.

Connecticut homeowners with crumbling foundations are a step closer to getting some federal tax relief.

A key committee in the U.S. House approved a bipartisan bill last week that includes a provision to provide relief.

Connecticut Representatives John Larson and Joe Courtney were responsible for inserting the provision in the Casualty Loss Deduction Restoration Act, which passed unanimously in the House Ways and Means Committee last week.

When the current presidential administration took office on January 20, 2025, the authoritarian firestorm they ignited was, sadly, rapid but somewhat expected.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — More federal tax relief could soon be coming to thousands of Connecticut homeowners impacted by crumbling foundations.

A bill has advanced in the Ways and Means Committee, which is being pushed by Congressmen John Larson (D-CT 1) and Joe Courtney (D-CT 2).

If passed, the bill would allow homeowners with crumbling foundations caused by the material pyrrhotite to claim the casualty loss deduction.

State and local leaders joined lawmakers and advocates Tuesday to applaud the bill.
