With the start of the 2025 General Assembly session, the CBIA BizCast team sat down with CBIA vice president of public policy Chris Davis to discuss the session and CBIA’s ReimagineCT policy solutions.
Supported by a bipartisan group of 73 lawmakers and a growing coalition of businesses, the policy solutions are designed to drive economic growth, address the high costs of living and running a business, expand career pathways, and foster innovation.
"If legislators were able to really sit back and think about, 'Is this making Connecticut more affordable, and is it making easier to employ people here in Connecticut,' I think you'll see a lot of good legislation get passed," Davis said.
CBIA developed the solutions in collaboration with residents and business leaders from across the state.
“What’s really impressed me is the level of engagement that our business community has, especially around public policy issues,” Davis said. 
“These are items that they have said to us, ‘If we can implement these changes, we can really start moving the needle here in Connecticut to grow our economy and improve our workforce.’”
Davis said the ReimagineCT policy solutions are a way to build coalitions around critical issues to the business community.
“It's a way for us to really have those conversations across party lines about these real solutions that will really grow our economy and our workforce," Davis said.
"Because at the end of the day, that's not a partisan issue.
“Trying to get your constituents more access to jobs and trying to help those businesses within their communities, is something that transcends party.”
While Davis and the CBIA’s policy team will be advocating for these solutions at the State Capitol, he said CBIA members and the business community also play an important role. 
“One of the key things that we do on our public policy team is getting out and meeting with members,” he said. 
“We oftentimes will bring a legislator with us and have them have the opportunity to see firsthand exactly how that business operates here in Connecticut. 
“Hearing directly from your own constituent business can play such a huge role in your decision making process as a legislator.”

'Moving the Needle' to Reimagine Connecticut

As a new U.S. administration keeps threatening to impose tariffs on Canadian exports, the IRPP hosted a panel discussion on how to address the intersecting affordability and climate crises.

Hosted in partnership with the Affordability Action Council, the panel featured Tyler Meredith, a former economic policy adviser to the Liberal government, Kathleen Monk, former director of communications to NDP leader Jack Layton, Karen Restoule, vice-president of Toronto-based Crestview Strategy and senior fellow at Macdonald-Laurier Institute and was moderated by Jennifer Ditchburn.

The panel focused on how to protect households from the rising cost of living, how to minimize the impacts of extreme weather events and how to keep affordable food on the table. This podcast is the audio from that discussion.

Tonight, Tuesday, October 7th, at 6 pm on The Brian Crombie Hour I interview ✅ Ron Butler. 👉 ALL my 🎤 podcasts and 🎦 video casts can be accessed any time on my web site https://briancrombie.com which holds repository of all my shows. 📌 Ron Butler, one of Canada’s most outspoken mortgage brokers, delivers a hard-hitting analysis of Ontario’s housing crisis. He explains how power-of-sale listings surged 20% monthly over four months, driven by collapsing foreign student rentals, rising unemployment, and soaring property taxes. With private lending drying up, many homeowners are struggling to stay afloat. Ron warns that the slowdown in new construction will deepen the housing shortage and urges bold reforms—cutting development fees, reducing taxes on new homes, and freeing land for housing. His insights reveal the real forces reshaping Ontario’s housing market.
