Government Affairs REPORT

Assembly leaders, budget director to speak at Business Day on Wednesday, March 1

(Feb. 24, 2006) The leaders of the 2006 General Assembly and Gov. Rell’s budget director will participate at this year's Connecticut Business Day, Wednesday, March 1, at the state Legislative Office Building.

Senate President Pro Tem Donald Williams (D-Brooklyn), Speaker of the House James Amann (D-Milford), Senate Republican Leader Louis DeLuca (R-Woodbury) and House Minority Leader Robert Ward (R-Northford) will talk about the key issues of the session.
Robert Genuario, secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, will outline Gov. Rell’s budget priorities as they relate to Connecticut’s businesses.

More than ever, Connecticut’s business leaders must participate in the state’s legislative process. Here’s why:
• There are many constructive initiatives in the General Assembly this year that need the vocal and visible support of the business community.
• And there are many anti-business proposals that legislators need to know would hurt your business and our economy.

Lawmakers need to be encouraged to to keep building and maintaining a competitive business environment in Connecticut. Participants will also have the chance to talk to state legislators from their area about what they can do to make Connecticut more competitive for jobs.
