Here is the schedule for the bills to be heard at the Planning and Development Joint Committee 11:00 AM in Room 2A of the LOB. We need the committee to pass these bills out to at least the Senate floor, where Senator Looney is the Majority Leader.

From Connecticut Coordinator Art Costa:
"Dave and I have been reaching out to various supporters over the
past couple of weeks to give them a heads up (not easy when you don't
know when or if there'll be a public hearing).
With the
exception of the Georgists in CT, I think Dave and I will be able to
bring a contingent. Not sure how many, but I'd like to bring CCM/CT
Home Builders Assoc./Rivers Alliance/Dave Bingham/2 or more local
business people/NL current mayor and perhaps previous
councilors/mayors. It would be good to folks who can't make it provide
written testimony as well.
That's the plan on our end."
