Letter: Milford State Rep. Kim Rose Deserves Another 2 Years

To the Editor,

I am writing to express my support for State Representative Kim Rose for re-election this November 4. In these trying economic times, Kim has been a forceful advocate for helping local businesses create jobs to help expand the Connecticut economy. She is keenly aware of the economic pressures both business owners and residents face and supports a state budget that is fair and balanced to all.

Because of Kim’s efforts and leadership in the legislature, new legislation is now in place to help businesses add jobs, especially in new fields such as technology. Small businesses and non-profits can obtain tax credits and loans to help them expand their operations. Students can get loans reimbursed for pursuing careers in green technology. And companies can receive sales tax exemptions for machinery, supplies, and fuel used in renewable energy industries.

Kim also championed new legislation that promotes partnerships between technical high schools and community colleges, leading to greater manufacturing collaboration, new jobs, and an educated workforce ready to innovate for our benefit.

On the local level Kim has been a consistent advocate for the needs of Milford and I am grateful for her assistance and representation in Hartford.

I am proud of the good work Kim Rose has done as our State Representative; she is just the type of leader we need to meet today’s challenges.

Sincerely, Suzanne Cahill
