  • (AAUP-CSU) 2016 Legislative Report
    American Association of University Professors – Connecticut State University Chapter (AAUP-CSU) 2016 Legislative Report Gallo & Robinson, LLC June, 2016 Betty Gallo Kate Robinson Joe Grabarz PREFACE As this legislative session began we faced a State and System budget sinking deeply into the red and a new leadership team at the System Offices. CSU-AAUP and Gallo & Robinson have worked closely together with supportive legislators to ensure that faculty interests were represented. We appreciate the significant faculty involvement in legislative activity and deepened relationships with legislators. Visits with individual legislators in their offices and districts have helped increase awareness of the concerns we have and the changes we advocate as usual but we particularly appreciate the faculty that stepped up and agreed to serve on various Commissions, working groups and task forces. There will be more. Numerous and timely action alerts, letters, testimony, flyers and position papers have all been valuable to our collective efforts. We have significantly impacted legislation in our favor and we have improved the standing of CSU-AAUP faculty as a valuable resource in higher education discussions. The legislation discussed in this report represents a major effort by CSU-AAUP staff and faculty, Gallo & Robinson staff and supportive legislators to shape events in favor of CSU-AAUP members and to make the State’s system of public higher education better for everyone involved. We have significant challenges coming up next session and it is incumbent upon us all to keep aware of opportunities to discuss how critical the dedicated faculty and staff are to ensuring the CSU System and the State meet their higher education goals.

The virus and the declaration of the public health emergency by Governor Lamont has greatly altered the state’s mental health care system. As you consider policies to implement in statute when you convene a special session, we ask that you codify the use of tele-health for behavioral health in the public and private insurance markets included in the Governor’s Executive Orders 7G, 7F, 7DD. We request payment parity for tele-health visits at the same rate if the services were delivered in-person. We also request that you specifically include the telephonic-only provision within covered behavioral health tele-health services. Tele-health has become a very important tool for mental health providers during the declared public health emergency. It has been used to continue to provide access to care for patients and engage new patients who have not received care in the past, many of which are new enrollees to the Medicaid program.

    PFIZERPAC OURVOICEINTHE POLITICALPROCESS Pfizer PAC & Corporate Political Contributions Report 2007 – 2008 Cycle Learn which candidates we supported in your community. Pfizer PAC ~ Our Voice in the Political Process A Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman, Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: What a year 2008 turned out to be in the political world! It also proved to be full of opportunity for Pfizer. We renewed our commitment and expanded our work to engage key stakeholders and forge new partnerships—from patients to physicians to payers and elected officials. This political contributions disclosure report includes a list of candidates and political committees the Pfizer PAC supported during the 2007-2008 election cycle. I am honored and pleased to report that 2008 was another successful year for the Pfizer PAC. During the 2007-2008 election cycle, we raised $2.96M with a 16% employee PAC participation rate. We were able to support 2,090 candidates in all levels of government. Additionally, Pfizer PAC continued a bi-partisan distribution of funds—50 percent of these candidates supported were Republicans and 50 percent Democrats. I hope that you will take a few moments to review this report and see which candidates the Pfizer PAC supported in your state. This year, it will be more important than ever that we positively engage our elected officials in support of health reform that promotes innovation, expands access and improves quality. I am confident that a strong and healthy Pfizer PAC will once again lead the way on behalf of the patients we serve. Thank you for your support, Rich Bagger PFIZER PAC Our Voice in the Political Process What is a PAC? PAC stands for Political Action Committee.
