Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But next year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
Malloy Pumps $200M Into BioScience Inoovation
HARTFORD — The state is continuing its financial backing of its tech sectors, this time establishing a $200 million fund to bolster bioscience.
The Bioscience Innovation Act was proposed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to establish the money to strengthen the bioscience sector over ten years. The governor made the proposal in January at the groundbreaking of the new Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX) in Farmington.
Malloy says the money will help the state attract and invest in more companies, compete for more federal and private funding, and provide well-paying jobs with benefits for state residents. The funding will be administered by Connecticut Innovations Inc. (CII), and would be broken down as $10 million annually for the first two years, $15 million annually for years three and four, and $25 million annually for the remaining six years.
It is proposed that funding not duplicate existing public funding, all investments are thoroughly vetted, and that an advisory board provides oversight.
