Redding delegation hears from constituents

A town meeting was held last week by members of the General Assembly with a brief presentation about the new two-year budget that was implemented in the latest legislative session.  Representative Dan Carter says they heard loud and clear that the economy continues to languish as a result of anti-business legislation and higher-than-average taxes.

 

The lawmakers covered topics such as the rollback of campaign finance reform, the elevated cost of doing business in Connecticut, the state’s unfunded pension liabilities, and confusion surrounding new gun regulations.

 

Representative John Shaban says the 2013 session included some far-reaching and controversial legislation and he was grateful that people came out to discuss the direction Connecticut is headed.  The lawmakers also heard what constituents would like to see being done to address their needs and improve the region.

 

State Senator Toni Boucher says Connecticut has some of the country's most underfunded pension liabilities and the state needs to get the fiscal house in order.
