Hartford CT- Americans for Prosperity-Connecticut (AFP-CT) State Director, JR Romano, will testify today on two executive orders issued by Governor Malloy last fall impacting child care workers and home care attendants in state funded programs.
"It is unfortunate that Governor Malloy has chosen to put politics before people once again by forcing unionization upon small business owners in this state who are charged with the care of our children and elderly populations, said JR Romano, State Director AFP-CT. While I am sure that the SEIU is pleased with these orders providing them with additional members and their dues, what about the PCAs and child care workers and the people they care for?
A lawsuit alleging that Governor Malloy overstepped his executive branch authorities in issuing Executive Orders 9 and 10 is pending.

Americans have seen this before and they know the president's path leads to more job losses, more budget deficits and more malaise. The presidents full-throated call for more government to get us out of this recession tells us all we need to know about his proposal. Tonight we heard a speech where the president talks more about government action than freeing up private sector action. That's backward.

President Obama is hyping a new push for a warmed over stimulus, now code-named targeted infrastructure investments as his administration continues on an astonishing anti-business rampage that is undermining job creation in this country.
