Announcements
Session Ends May 7th
This is a critical time for advocates to make their voices heard. Due to vast projected reductions in revenue, legislators and the Governor have indicated that they may not allow any changes to be made to last year's budget--leaving the most vulnerable of CT's residents even further behind as the national economy slows. As bills are moving to the Floor of both the House and the Senate for full body votes, your legislators need to know where you stand on these issues. This is your chance to hold your legislators accountable and to help enact real change for CT residents!
