(DESPP). The meeting is scheduled for
The
meeting is open to the public, and CCDL is asking members to attend. We
need to show legislators that gun owners are outraged at Governor
Malloy’s budget proposal to raise pistol permit application and permit
fees so only the rich will be able to exercise their 2nd
Amendment rights. We’re asking members to wear their CCDL shirts and
hats to the meeting to show the legislators we’re paying attention.
Oral
testimony is not required at this particular hearing, but members are
still encouraged to submit written testimony. This hearing is related to
the appropriations of the general funds, but it’s key to show the state
that CCDL members are staying vigilant.
The afternoon part of this meeting will start at 1:00 P.M., and DESPP is scheduled to be the second speaker. This will be followed by a Public Budget Hearing at 4:30 P.M.
