New online resource - Judiciary Committee public hearing testimony.

You can often see the testimony of people before various legislative committees on the CTN cable TV network. But, for the first time, you can now read the written testimony submitted to one of the legislature's committees - the Judiciary Committee.

Click here to visit the website where you can access the written testimony. This is a new resource, and it seems that it is only available for Judiciary Committee testimony. Hopefully, all of the other committees will start doing it as well.

Public hearing testimony represents many different political perspectives, from interested residents of our state, lobbyists and interest groups and from public officials. This testimony is an important part of the legislative process in Connecticut, and it is the opportunity for Connecticut's people to have their opinions heard before legislators make up their minds on legislation under consideration.

Do you find this new resource helpful?
