GENERAL ASSEMBLY CANDIDATES TO TOUR LOCAL COMPANIES DURING CBIA “BUSINESS MEETS POLITICS” COMPANY TOUR WEEK


More than 100 state Senate and House candidates will participate in the Connecticut Business & Industry Association’s “Business Meets Politics” company tour week, October 11-15, 2004. Due to scheduling conflicts, a few tours will take place the following week.

The candidates will tour more than 60 companies across the state and participate in numerous events hosted by chambers of commerce across Connecticut.

“This election is critical for employers and the state’s continued economic growth,” said Kenneth O. Decko, CBIA president and CEO. “Business Meets Politics week is another way that CBIA and businesses are working together to elect candidates who will work to make decisions that will improve Connecticut’s business climate, keep our state competitive and strengthen the economy.”

The following is a list of scheduled tours that are open to the media and the public. Reporters interested in attending are urged to call Nancy Andrews, CBIA’s media relations manager, at 860-244-1957.
