FAC Proposed Substitute Language for HB 6402 19 Feb 2021 (Public Hearing scheduled for March 4 2021)

FAC response to Barnes' Feb 8th report on SF Finances. 19 Feb 2021

Barnes' report was circulated to legislators with a note claiming that it addressed faculty 'misinformation'. The 'misinformation' referenced was likely this article: https://ctmirror.org/category/ct-viewpoints/connecticuts-100-million-shell-game/. Nothing in Barnes' response contradicts the content of the article
