Fiscal issues like long-term debt and obligations, a transportation system that inhibits the economic growth of the state, an education system not delivering its promise to all residents and a coastline exposed to increasingly severe storms. “And this is an election year.”
With that as preface, The Business Council of Fairfield County hosted its 2014 Connecticut Legislative Leadership Breakfast at the Sheraton Stamford Hotel on East Main Street in Stamford last week and packed the house with businesspersons, students and civic leaders.
A panel of four legislators included: Speaker of the House Brendan Sharkey; House Minority Leader Larry Cafero; Senate President Pro Tempore Donald Williams; and Senate Minority Leader John McKinney. Joe McGee, vice president for public policy for the Business Council, moderated the question-and-answer formatted discussion.
