    Rep. Polletta Calls For Transparency On Proposed State Investment In Connecticut Sun

    <p>HARTFORD – State Rep. Joe Polletta <strong>(R-Watertown)</strong> joined House and Senate Republicans at a Capitol press conference on Thursday calling for more transparency from the Lamont administration regarding the details of the proposed use of the state employee pension fund to purchase a stake in the WNBA&#8217;s Connecticut Sun basketball franchise.</p> <p>&#8220;Any use of taxpayer money, let alone state employee pension funds, deserves and requires the highest level of scrutiny and transparency,&#8221; said Rep. Polletta, who serves as the House Ranking Member of the Finance Committee. &#8220;Rather than looking for ways to take part in an exercise in venture capitalism, the state should be looking at less-risky, best practices to maximize returns on pension fund investments for the benefit of taxpayers and pensioners. &#8221;</p> <p>Rep. Polletta added that while keeping the WNBA franchise in Connecticut has its plusses, any proposal to do so using state pension funds, or any other public monies, must be vetted and fully transparent for all to see and consider.</p> <p>&#8220;Right now, we don&#8217;t have any details on how purchasing a minority stake in the Sun would work, or the potential risks or rewards of doing so. My hope is we will see much more information coming forth very soon. The residents of Connecticut serve nothing less,&#8221; added Rep. Polletta.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

It is an honor and privilege to fight for my constituents and to work toward making our state more affordable for all of the families and businesses that call our district home. Being present and participating in the legislative process is critical to achieving a better state for everyone,” said Rep. Polletta.</p> <p>The legislature stands adjourned for the year, pending an anticipated special legislative session sometime this Fall.</p>

    Rep. Polletta, CT Republicans Offer Ideas to Provide Consumers Relief on Electric Bills

    <p>As Connecticut residents are opening up their January electricity bills, Connecticut Republicans today unveiled <strong>a detailed six-point plan to bring about stability and relief for consumers.</strong></p> <p>“Electricity rates are a sustained scourge on taxpayers in Connecticut as the rising cost of energy continues to weigh them down. When residents look to their state leaders for solutions, they will see Republicans renewed their call for an approach to energy policy that prioritizes affordability and sustainability – lowering the burden on taxpayers and on the state’s electric grid,” <strong>Rep. Joe Polletta (R-68)</strong> said. “Now it’s up to Democrats in the supermajority to engage with our proposals and come to the table for this crucial discussion to lower the cost of energy.”</p> <p>“It’s time for majority party Democrats who control the energy agenda to acknowledge what utility ratepayers and analysts have made clear: their entire approach to energy policy, rooted in flawed priorities and misguided philosophy, has failed everyone,”<strong> House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora</strong> said. “This session is an opportunity to shift toward affordability, and unfortunately their recent news conference made it clear they’re out of ideas. We urge Democrats to adopt our proposals as the foundation for the action residents want and deserve.”</p> <p><strong>The Republicans’ plan would:</strong></p> <p>1) <strong>remove Public Benefits Charges from electric bills</strong></p> <p>2) prohibit agreements that buy electricity at 150 % above the wholesale price</p> <p>3) redefine &#8220;Class I renewable energy source&#8221; to include any</p> <p>electricity generated from a hydropower or nuclear power generating facility</p> <p>4) separate PURA from DEEP</p> <p>5) eliminate any incentive program that increases electric demand, including, any electric vehicle rebate program</p> <p>6) study ways to increase the supply of natural gas</p>
