Greenberg loans campaign more money

Washington — Republican Mark Greenberg loaned his campaign another $592,500 during the summer, making his personal investment in his effort to unseat Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-5th District, more than $1.1 million, according to the latest filings with the Federal Elections Commission.

The filings show that Greenberg has raised about $300,000 from individuals and political action committees for his campaign. He also gave his campaign about $70,000 — apart from his substantial loans.

Even as he lent his campaign more money, Greenberg used  $280,000 in campaign cash to repay some of those loans, the filings show.

Meanwhile, Esty has raised more than $2.5 million to defend her seat, all from individuals and PACs.

Elected to the House of Representatives in 2012, Esty raised nearly $580,000 in the last quarter., which ended on Sept. 30. Her campaign ended the reporting period with  $923,000 in cash-on-hand and $303,000 in financial obligations.

Greenberg’s campaign reported about $118,000 in cash-on-hand on Sept. 30 and about $122,000 in obligations accrued in the quarter, besides the personal loans to his campaign.

Opinion The public health bill no one is talking about, but should be
by Brian Festa

On February 16,  the legislature's Public Health Committee conducted a public hearing on two bills, S.B. 568 and H.B. 6423, both of which would eliminate the religious exemption to mandatory vaccinations for Connecticut schoolchildren.  The hearing was capped at 24 hours, depriving nearly 1,500 members of the public who had registered for the hearing their opportunity to be heard.  The vast majority of those who did testify, and who submitted written testimony, opposed the bill.  The committee is expected to vote on the bill as early as  today.

My approach to higher education is shaped by my desire to provide the best possible education for my students. This is why the recent Board of Regents’ proposed changes at the four state universities have me worried.
