Norwich teachers league has been rallying since 6 and the Norwich school board is still refusing to let anyone in to the meeting. We want to be heard but it seems they don’t want to listen #unionstrong #CEA #norwich #supportteachers – at Norwich, CT

We have $40 billion in pension debt That’s really bad We’ve paid down almost $8 billion of it since 2019 We’ll pay off another $2 billion this year That’s really good The fiscal policies we’ve put in place are working And we must continue them ctmirror.org/2023/09/12/ct-p…

CT poised to take $1.9B chunk out of state's pension debt

The payment into CT's cash-starved funds will raise total supplemental payments into those funds to nearly $7.7 billion in only four years.

Cutting public transit is the wrong choice for Connecticut
Connecticut Public Transportation Council@CTRailCouncil30 Aug 2023
Make no mistake- the devastating cuts to Shoreline East will add more drivers to I-95, increase our VMT (vehicle miles traveled) AND waste our previous investments in stations and M8 cars. Those parking lots used to be full. What a huge step backwards!

The CT GOP is spreading misinformation tonight. There is no tax increase in SB 999. Please, CT GOP, ask any mayor what a grand list is and how they and the finance board determine a mill rate. Do some arithmetic to see how ridiculous your claim is. And stop spreading lies.

Ben & Jerry’s has a long and proud history of being a progressive and socially conscious company. Now that scoopers in Burlington, VT have come together to form a union, my strong hope is that the company will voluntarily recognize the union and negotiate a fair first contract.
