FIGHTING FOR BUSINESSES

Focus on the economy, saving jobs, and positioning Connecticut for a strong recovery was the message nearly 400 businesspeople from across the state delivered to legislators during Connecticut Business Day at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford. The Connecticut Business & Industry Association and the Connecticut Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, a statewide organization of 61 chamber executives, wrapped up the Business Day events with a news conference.
