Rep. Hurlburt Invites Constituents to Take Online Issues Survey

State Representative Bryan Hurlburt, who represents Ashford, Tolland and Willington in the General Assembly, has set up an online survey on his legislative webpage at http://www.housedems.ct.gov/Hurlburt and is encouraging constituents to offer their opinions on issues expected to come up during the 2012 legislative session which convened February 8.  

“It is very helpful to know what peoples’ thoughts are on how we should deal with the challenges we face as a state,” said Hurlburt, who chairs the Appropriations Subcommittee on Conservation and Development. “There is a question on what people are most concerned about these days such as jobs, healthcare or crime as well as budget choices on where to cut and where to spend.”

Survey questions ask what issues are of most concern to families, what state spending should be cut or protected, and what should be done to improve utility preparation and response to storms. Specific budget questions range from cutting or maintaining funding for seniors and veterans services to aid to public schools and fixing roads and bridges.

Rep. Hurlburt is serving his third term in the state legislature representing the 53rd Assembly District. He sits on the Appropriations, Environment and Higher Education committees.
