And considering there is a better Bill in place already should tell you this Bill should be Vote No on. H.B. 5623 'AN ACT CONCERNING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING' There are parts of this Bill that are just to overreaching and should not passed. Why a Bill can't be put forward that does good and not push an agenda? Please Vote No. c H.B. 5622 'AN ACT CONCERNING THE AVAILABILITY OF ERASED RECORDS IN DETERMINING WHETHER A PERSON IS A SUITABLE PERSON TO CARRY A PISTOL OR REVOLVER' This Bill is just No on so rnany levels so please JUST SAY NO! S.B. 429 'AN ACT CONCERNING SERVICE OF RESTRAINING ORDERS' The Title of this Bill sounds better than what the actual Bill is. The overreaching wording in this Bill is just too much and common sense would tell you that it is not good and NOT be put in place . ., ask that all members of the committee not support these bills.

    Candidate Registration List for Election Year 2014 ** Committees designated as "participating" have filed an SEEC CEP Form 10 indicating an Intent to Abide by Program rules. This designation does not indicate that any part of the grant application is complete or sufficient and grant awards are subject to Commission determination. Committees designated as "non-participating" have filed an SEEC CEP Form 11 or 13 indicating an Intent Not to Abide by Program rules, have registered an exemption which renders them ineligible to participate in the Program, or have missed the deadline for filing an SEEC CEP Form 10. *** An "active-exempt" designation indicates that the candidate is currently registered with the SEEC but has filed an exemption to forming a candidate committee because they are entirely self-financed, will receive and spend less than $1000, are running as part of a slate with a town committee or a political committee, or will raise and spend no money.

  • CT Retired Teachers' Lobby
    CT Retired Teachers’ Lobby Day WELCOME TO CT RETIRED TEACHERS’ LOBBY DAY APRIL 6, 2016 Dear colleagues, It is a pleasure to welcome you all to our third annual Retired Teachers Lobby Day. In the coming together of ARTC, AFT-CT and CEA-R we are truly representing the interests and concerns of Connecticut's 33,000 retired teachers. Additionally, we are advocating for and protecting the future welfare of our state's 53,000 active teachers who contribute their 1/3 share contribution towards the funding of our Health Insurance Premium Account ( HIPA ). Thank you for taking the time to attend our Lobby Day to meet with your legislators to discuss the important issues affecting retired teachers. Face to face contact between legislators and their local constituents is the most effective way to advocate for ourselves and to educate our government representatives on matters affecting us. Our major legislative concerns this year are to maintain full funding of our HIPA and to protect the retired teachers' pension plan as well as the recent legislation which provides for an increase in the state income tax exclusion on our pensions from 10% to 25% (scheduled to increase to 50% in 2017). You will be learning more details about these issues in our first hour "seminar" this morning. You'll be hearing from two key legislators about budget issues and from our lobbyists about the workings of government and strategies for presenting information to your legislators. Our planning committee has been organizing this event since last October and we appreciate and thank them for the many hours of dedication and effort on this task.

  • Journal of the House 01/09/2019
    JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Wednesday, January 9, 2019 On Wednesday after the first Monday of January, A.D., 2019, the date prescribed by the Constitution of the State of Connecticut for the meeting of the General Assembly, the House of Representatives convened in the Representatives' Hall in the Capitol at Hartford, Connecticut, at the hour 10:01 o'clock, in the forenoon. Representative Robert D. Godfrey of the 110th District, Deputy Speaker Pro Tempore of the preceding House, called the House of Representatives to order. Prayer was offered by Rabbi Alan Lefkowitz of Windsor, Connecticut. The following is the prayer: Let us pray. As we open our new session, with new leadership and new divinely inspired people, we, as God did, are beginning to create newly. As we do, let us remember to keep 'spirituality' as our partner. Remembering that, unlike as we think, 'spirituality' is a verb to remind us that the truest fact of our very existence is that each of us is a "happening of God!" The Happening happening as all happening. Spirituality is progressive - a maturing rather than just a mature. Spirituality isn't fixed, it is fluid, not as a final "aha" but as a recurring "wow!" A maturing spirituality is active, not as selfish, but to be a blessing to all people on the earth. So, as we pray, may we begin to create to the One who created us all, our Highest Power, who desires for us to work for the highest good: Dear God, help us to be present and to see ourselves and others as waves of the infinite divine ocean, to be free by dropping those closed minded conditions of self-judgment that blinds ourselves to the judging others and to be compassionate by treating all beings with kindness and respect despite our differences.
