A bill to prohibit CT public schools from compiling a so-called “Asian Registry” received strong support Thursday during a public hearing at the Legislative Office Building.

Hundreds of CT residents joined my fellow legislators and me to speak in favor of Bill 359.

Our message:

CT government should not mandate that Asian-Pacific American students register their ancestral nation of origin or ethnic background.

Such a mandate would be an invasion of privacy.

I thank Lin Yang, from Woodbridge, CT, for organizing Thursday’s terrific turnout.

I urge you to join us in speaking out.

Bill 5393 would create a CT Transportation Authority.

The Authority would build, maintain and operate electronic tolling systems on CT highways.

Translation?

Bill 5393 abdicates the legislature’s responsibility to unaccountable, unelected, faceless state government bureaucrats.a

CT tolls could be everywhere if this bill passes….

….so I need you to help me stop this bill from becoming law.
