Democrats Seek To Make Good On Campaign Promises

Trying to make good on their campaign promises, House Democrats unveiled a package of 10 bills last week that they said will help improve Connecticut’s economic climate.

“Our package reflects the long-term vision for moving Connecticut forward that we have been talking about with people throughout the state all summer and fall,” House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, said. “Encouraging job growth and economic development, making Connecticut more affordable for our seniors, and keeping our young graduates living and working here are all priorities everyone should get behind.”
