Why we checked itSpecific state supplemental spending figure for home heating relief — verifiable against state budget records
What we foundGovernor Lamont's office released $12.7 million in state money on Oct. 13, 2026 to supplement this winter's federal heating-assistance dollars for the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program, in line with the roughly $12.5 million he described.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Supported following post-debate review: the claim is about state heating aid, not broadband. The governor's office released $12.7 million on Oct. 13 to supplement this winter's federal heating assistance, so "about twelve and a half million dollars on top of what we get from the Fed" is accurate. The summary was rewritten to match.
