Blumenthal: Thousands of jobs at stake

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Connecticut stands to lose $520 million and thousands of jobs over two years if the U.S. House of Representatives does not pass a transportation bill by the end of this month.

Blumenthal addressed the bill during a Friday visit to Deloitte”™s Wilton offices, which is holding its annual “impact day” with employees devoting the day to nonprofit causes, along with Deloitte offices in Stamford and elsewhere.

Along with the mayor of Los Angeles, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy scheduled a media conference call for noon Friday to press Congress to reach an agreement on the transportation reauthorization bill.
