property taxes have gone up by thirty percent or more in most of our municipalities

Not supported

Ryan Fazio, at Connecticut Governor General Election Debate (WTNH News 8)

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific figure (30%+) about property tax increases across Connecticut municipalities that is directly verifiable against tax records and could materially mislead voters if inaccurate
What we foundProperty taxes have risen significantly in Connecticut, but available data does not support the claim that 30% or more increases occurred in 'most' municipalities — increases of that magnitude are confined to specific towns with recent revaluations or measured over a decade-long timeframe.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Not supported following post-debate review: the evidence does not show increases of thirty percent or more in most municipalities, and the same thirty percent figure Ryan Fazio gave later in this debate is rated the same way. The evidence is unchanged.
