Community & Labor Partners Legislative Action


Purpose: Allies in the Better Choices for Connecticut Coalition are organizing this press conference to address Governor Rell's Executive Order to keep the state operating as we enter the new fiscal year without a budget agreement -- and which eliminates funding in July for important services that Connecticut residents depend on.

Agenda: Press conference at the Governor's Mansion, which will feature students and clients of services impacted by the cuts, is scheduled to convene at 12:00 PM, followed by a press availability at the the Institute for Community Research, whose AIDS services funding has been eliminated in the Governor's Executive Order, at 1:00 PM:

    Two Hartford Square West, Suite 100
    146 Wyllys St, Hartford, CT 06106

Action: Governor Rell needs to hear from our members about the crucial role that new revenues play in protecting vital services to our state residents.
