Connecticut
Grassroots Alliance Update on the Tenth Amendment Legislation
3/5/10
On the day of our
news conference, Senator Gayle Slossberg, Chairman of
the Government Administration and Elections Committee, agreed to raise the
Tenth Amendment Resolution for a public hearing. Since that time, the GAE Committee has held
or scheduled two public hearings, neither of which had on the agenda the Tenth
Amendment legislation.
The GAE
Committee’s deadline for voting on bills raised is March 16. That means that the Committee has to have held
a public hearing on any bills that it will be voting on prior to March 16. The question remains: Will Senator Slossberg
keep her promise and schedule another public hearing before March 16 that has
on the agenda our Tenth Amendment resolution?
Senator
Schlossberg needs to answer that question – hopefully with a resounding yes.
All Connecticut
citizens are invited to call and/or email her every day starting today and ask
her that question until we get an answer.
Keep in mind that we are still trying to persuade her to do the right
thing.
