Bridgeport Small Business Breakfast

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Catie/Where%20We%20Live%2005-04-2011.mp3

Connecticut lawmakers have passed a new, two year budget that raises taxes - and is counting on union concessions.  What will it mean for small business?

Today, we're broadcasting live from the Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport - at the second of our yearlong series of "Small Business Breakfasts" in conjunction with WNPR's Small Business Project.

We'll be joined by small business people from the Bridgeport area and around Connecticut., and by Catherine Smith the new Commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, to talk about what the state is doing to promote small business growth. 

And, we'll be joined by Pete Gioia, economist for the Connecticut Business and Industry Association.   Please join us as we talk small business, Where We Live, right after this news.
