Business leaders discuss issues in session's last days

HARTFORD - With a little more than a week to go in the legislative session, business leaders from the Connecticut Business & Industry Association (CBIA) and eight of the state's chambers of commerce are urging legislators to be fiscally responsible and not pass any new laws that would harm our economy and force tax increases on Connecticut residents in the near future.

The event is Tuesday, April 29 at 4 p.m. in the Legislative Office Building, Hartford Room 1B.
Business leaders from CBIA, the Business Council of Fairfield County, the MetroHartford Alliance, the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce, the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Bristol Chamber of Commerce, the Bridgeport Regional Business Council, the Waterbury Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut will attend the news conference.

Speakers include: John R. Rathgeber, president and CEO, CBIA; Christopher P. Bruhl, president and CEO, Business Council of Fairfield County; Oz Griebel, president and CEO, MetroHartford Alliance; Larry McHugh, president, Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce; Tony Rescigno, president, Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce.
