CRMA Annual Meeting Ready for Next Week
Capitol News and Notes
Member Services Update



• The CRMA Annual Meeting and luncheon is now just one week away.

• Over the next couple of days we will be sending you some last minute information regarding the event, but it is not to late to register.

• The luncheon will be held on Thursday November 10, 2005 at the new Connecticut Convention Center. The cost of the lunch is only $35.

• Also, there is still time to be one of our sponsors, although time is running out on that front. If you are interested in being a sponsor, please call us today.

• If you have already sent in your registration information, we thank you and look forward to seeing you on November 10th.

Capitol News and Notes:

• Will they ever go home?

• This week the General Assembly was back in special session to deal with the issues that have come up since the end of the regular session.

• They have yet to come up with enough votes for campaign finance reform.

• A number of Legislators had fundraisers scheduled for this week but had to cancel them due to the special session.

• Good news: Tuesday of this week the Governor singed into law HB 2100, the so called energy assistance bill that creates a sales tax free period for certain household energy products. (see FF of two weeks ago)

• The sales tax free period runs from Nov 25 – April 1.

• Also this week the Governor once again vetoed a contract reform bill that the legislature passed.


• The reform bills passed by the Legislature are in response to the scandals of the Rowland administration, where last week the former chief of staff and a leading CT contractor pleaded guilty to bid rigging charges.

Member Services Update:

• As we move toward the end of the year, many members have their insurance policies up for renewal.

• If your group health, property casualty, workers compensation or business owners policy is up for renewal be sure to call our office for a free quote on any of these offerings.

• CRMA offers professional services and comprehensive coverage on these products so call or email us at 860 – 527 – 1044 or cathy@crmaonline.com for more information.
