  • (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.

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.

This Project is proposed to upgrade and expand the Algonquin pipeline system and construct a Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) storage facility in New England to deliver, on peak days, up to 925,000 dekatherms per day (“Dth/d”) of natural gas. The Project is designed to meet the capacity needs of natural gas fired electric generation as coal and nuclear generation resources retire. As such, Access Northeast will be implemented in phases, with the initial phase currently projected to be November 1, 2018.
