The Connecticut Business & Industry Association on Thursday told the Connecticut government to keep its costs at a minimum while improving regulatory efficiency for businesses.
The state’s largest business association with more than 100,000 members, the CBIA revealed its legislative priorities for the upcoming General Assembly session starting Feb. 6.
The priorities include improving the state’s fiscal policy and reducing its business costs by keeping the size of state government within taxpayers’ means. This includes leveraging state tax policy to drive the economy.
The government needs to cut the red tap and reform regulatory policies to enable employers to increase jobs and grow their businesses, the CBIA said.
As education factors to be the key issue of the legislative session, CBIA called on the government to best prepare the future workforce with the necessary education to complement Connecticut’s economic competitiveness.
Connecticut’s infrastructure also needs to be modernized, CBIA said, through prioritized investment and improved energy reliability.
