Abercrombie Backs Increased State Aid to Nonprofits

State Rep.Cathy Abercrombie, D-Meriden/Berlin, joined the Connecticut Community Providers Association (CCPA) and Connecticut Association of Nonprofits today in support of Governor Dannel P. Malloy’s proposal for a 1% cost of living adjustment (COLA) for Fiscal Year 2013.

“Nonprofit community-based providers are a life line to our constituents. I thank them for all their hard work and am happy that the governor has included a 1% increase to our providers,” Rep. Abercrombie said. “Our providers deserve a much bigger increase, but in these economic times an increase of any amount I am sure is appreciated.”
