Bond Package Update

A bond package has finally been approved. The state Bond Commission will once again begin their regularly scheduled meetings.

Please remember that the Governor..."still holds sole authority to place an item on the 10-member State Bond Commission's agenda, and the commission still must approve any project mentioned in Tuesday's legislation." (Hartford Courant, October 31, 2007)

The Bond Commission's next scheduled meeting is December 7, 2007. As soon as we are alerted that the infrastructure money has been placed on the agenda, I'll post a notice.
