3 - Supportive Housing Bill for 2005: http://www.cga.ct.gov/2005/tob/s/2005SB-01056-R00-SB.htm.

4 - This bill basically imposes an income tax surtax on folks earning over $200,000 and establishes a "Child Poverty Social Investment Fund" with the proceeds.

5 - This legislation is part of SEIU's Fair Share Health Care national program. Please join us in sending a message to Connecticut lawmakers that private corporations –- especially companies that receive public dollars to provide public services –- should not be allowed to profit from their poor standards by shifting employee health care costs to taxpayers.
