Backdraft is one of those movies that, when you are channing channels at random, once you stop at it, you keep at it. Released in 1991, directed by Ron Howard, it had Kurt Russell at the peak of his career, competently supported by Scott Glenn (Gosh!...it seems this guy was always old sinec his birth!).
The Connecticut state sales tax rate is 6.35% , and the average CT sales tax after local surtaxes is 6.35% 1  . Groceries, prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs are exempt from the Connecticut sales tax. 2  Counties and cities are not allowed to collect local sales taxes.
This would add a local surcharge of one-half of 1 percentage point to the existing 6.35 percent state sales tax. Connecticut not alone in facing budget deficits. Democrats eyeing sales tax hike to plug holes in next CT budget.
