#RebuildCT

Connecticut is poised to pull off an incredible feat, with 75% of the state's adult population expected to have received at least a first dose of #COVID19 vaccine by the end of the month. Do your part—get vaccinated and help #RebuildCT!

We were excited to see our friends and talk about how #offshorewind is helping #RebuildCT at the @CBIANews #CTBizDay22 held last week at @TheBushnell. Great event! @meskers4gwich @jfoster_rd @JillBarry1112 @RobinComey @TomDelnicki

28 workplace mandates enacted in six years, and for what result? A shrinking labor force, high unemployment, weak job growth. You can only imagine the results if that energy went to policies that create jobs, opportunities, and economic growth. #RebuildCT

CBIA’s @egjede applauded the committee’s decision to use federal #COVID19 relief funds to address unemployment debt, saying it “takes a huge weight off the business community, helping us emerge from the pandemic and get back to creating jobs.” #RebuildCT

We are excited to see progress at State Pier in Connecticut, which will serve as a wind turbine staging and assembly hub for @SouthForkWind, #RevolutionWind, and @SunriseWindNY. #RebuildCT

Sunday's front page: State Pier project taking shape.

This is what Connecticut employers will be paying in additional taxes if lawmakers fail to address the state's #unemployment debt: 👉 2023: $35M 👉 2024: $69M 👉 2025: $104M 👉 2026: $196M 👉 TOTAL: $404M #RebuildCT #smallbiz #CTeconomy

How did your state lawmakers vote this year on key bills impacting jobs and economic growth? Our 2021 voting scorecards show where legislators stand on critical issues impacting our recovery, particularly the challenges faced by #smallbiz. #RebuildCT

Business Day 2022 will have remarks from @ChrisDipentima, @johnremra, @GovNedLamont, and @egjede #rebuildCT

Looking for a blueprint for killing job and economic growth? Here's the Connecticut General Assembly Labor Committee's jaw-dropping, 30 bill list for today's hearing (warning: includes items that defy commonsense). #RebuildCT #emplaw

“I can’t stress enough the importance of fiscal certainty and stability,” ⁦@CTDECD⁩ commissioner David Lehman tells #CTbizDay22 crowd. “We’re trying to make smart investments that will grow the state.” #RebuildCT

📣HAPPENING NOW: Kicking off #CTBizDay21 with @GovNedLamont addressing hundreds of business leaders one year after the beginning of the pandemic. #RebuildCT

Appreciated the opportunity yesterday to stand with #smallbiz owners and @nfib_ct, @connfood, @ctrestaurant, @CT_Retail, LDAC, and @GNHCC. Employers face a 22% hike in #unemployment taxes, money better spent addressing the labor shortage. #RebuildCT

New Britain Mayor @erinstewartct said businesses and investors have shown more interest in the Hardware City because of $45 million in infrastructure investments and other efforts. #infrastructure #rebuildCT #NewBritian

The average family in CT is paying a new $400 per year payroll tax for the new bureaucracy—but it looks like that will get even worse.

@russellmaxfield @ryanfazio The worst case scenario he outlines doesn’t seem so terrible - that a future legislature will want to amend the program to require that employers chip in more than the $0 they do currently. That’s how programs like Social Security are structured - and tons of companies used to

@MattLesser @russellmaxfield @ryanfazio Comments like this reinforce @egjede's point that the Labor Committee's agenda continually ignores the state's economic struggles and fragile job market. Why can't lawmakers make it easier—instead of more difficult—to create jobs here? #RebuildCT

Big crowd in #Stamford this morning for the opening of the digital skills lab that @synchrony developed with @DistrictArtEdu1, @UConnEngineer Ambassadors, and @FUTURE5stamford. Public-private partnerships are key to meeting our #workforce needs! #RebuildCT

Connecticut fell 15 spots to 39th in @CNBC's annual America's #TopStates for Business, weighed down by familiar factors: the high cost of living, high cost of doing business, and an economy struggling to recover from the pandemic. #RebuildCT #smallbiz

Minnesota's governor just signed bill allocating $2.7B to pay off state's federal #unemployment loans and replenish UI trust fund. Connecticut budget deal pays down 6% of UI loan balance, with employers on the hook for remaining $465M. #smallbiz #RebuildCT

Indiana used $400M in CARES Act funding to pay back federal #unemployment loans and appropriated another $500M in ARPA money to replenish its unemployment trust fund. #RebuildCT

New Mexico leveraged federal recovery dollars to pay off $206M in federal loans and fully restore its #unemployment compensation trust fund back to its $460M pre-pandemic levels. #RebuildCT
