Subject: [Conntech] Legislative Update From CLA Lobbyist Bobby Shea 

Colleagues, Please send this update to other library listservs. The list provided below is of the key decision makers that should be contacted.   Thanks, Carl Antonucci – CLA Legislative Committee Message from CLA Lobbyist Bobby Shea: GO LIBRARIES!! I just ran into a Senate Budget staffer at Whole Foods. She tells me that no final decisions about Budget cuts have yet been made, so we still  have to fight hard to SUPPORT the Appropriations Committee’s  reinstatement of funding for our programs. During the next couple of weeks, these are the folks who will be in the room making the final decisions on taxes and spending.  It will be great if everyone in the room says:  “WOW!!!! WE ARE HEARING FROM LIBRARY SUPPORTERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE!!  WE REALLY NEED TO SUPPORT LIBRARY FUNDING  !! “ The following key decision-makers should be contacted as frequently as possible by as many different people as possible during the next 2-3 weeks.  We don’t have to be overly sensitive about where folks live; although ideally, it would be really cool if Jeff Berger hears mostly from Waterbury residents and Beth Bye hears mostly from West Hartford residents, etc. AGAIN, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE CAN GET THE STUDENTS/YOUNG PEOPLE WHO VISIT OUR LIBRARIES TO CONTACT THE KEY DECISION-MAKERS AS WELL.  GO TEAM!!
