Lamont proposed an increase in the popular property tax credit to $ 350 , up from $ 300 , per tax filer.

The proposed change would allow $593 million in additional spending over the next two years that would not have been possible without the changes.

The current $26 billion state budget would increase to nearly $27 billion in the next fiscal year that starts on July 1 .

While individual taxpayers would see a combined $85 million in relief per year with the increased property tax credit, the tax increases would be imposed on hospitals and businesses.

The Connecticut Hospital Association calls Lamont 's budget proposal "devastating".
