Towns and cities struggle to share services

HARTFORD - Towns and cities across the state are sharing health services, public works equipment and vehicle tracking and mapping technology. But many want to do more and are asking state lawmakers for help. "Governments in Connecticut stand at a crossroads," said Joe Delong, executive director of the Connecticut Council of Municipalities. "For over a decade prior to the Great Recession, governments in the state benefited from a strong economy and stable revenues," Delong said "But this stability has depended crucially on the local property tax and reliable and adequate state aid," Delong added.
