State Rep. Terrie Wood announced that she’s holding a “business informational forum” from 8 to 9 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 29 at The Goose American Bistro & Bar, 972 Post Road in downtown Darien. You don’t have to be involved in a business to come, Wood says — the event is open to everybody. Wood, a Republican whose district includes Rowayton and most of Darien, and a Norwalk state representative held a similar event last Tuesday at Norwalk City Hall. Here’s most of Wood’s description the event in her constituent newsletter Thursday morning:

The 2019 legislative session is proving to be one of most impactful times on the state’s business community in recent years, especially considering the new Democrat-enacted taxes that went into effect Oct.

State Rep. Terrie Wood, together with state Rep.

SIDEBAR: Gov Lamont on School Regionalization
The Connecticut Municipal Resource and Service Center of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities recently issued a report describing Gov. Ned Lamont’s proposed state budget. It includes this description of the governor’s proposed policy for school regionalization:

The Governor would establish COSSS to develop a plan, in consultation with ACIR, for the redistricting or consolidation of school services and school districts. It would begin work 30 days after passage of the legislation and conclude on June 30, 2027.
