Connecticut and New Jersey are the last state’s to reach Tax Freedom Day on May 13
National Tax Freedom Day, where taxpayers make enough to pay all taxes, is a day later this year on April 24.
Pomerleau says that’s due to steady economic growth. He says it's due to the increase in income, slowly pulling ourselve's out of the recession and as we're earning more income of course we're payingmore to the federal, state and local governments.
