  • (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.

  • 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.
