Is any one representing Ct against boa ban?

I was just wondering if we had anyone fighting the Ct boa and python ban?

I know we had people when it was federal and wondering if the same people

are fighting state by state.

If so who could I contact to give my support. I am a hobbyist for many

years and do not want to give up something I

love doing. Any info would be appreciated.

Joe, I am trying to put together a package of letters signed by as many people as possible to try and squash this. I do not currently own either a boa or burm but do not want to see this legislation pass.
If you are interested in helping, shoot me a PM.

I live in CT also and have been monitoring this since it was proposed. I have a friend who worked in the government for awhile- he said that more often than not, bills like this never amount to anything since the state's budget is in the hole for $300 million (or more, not sure). So he said more likely than not, nothing will come for it. However, if you check the website, the bill will be available for a public hearing sometime in the future. I've been checking and no date has been posted yet. But once it is, I plan on calling out of work and missing class to go and testify. That's really all there is to do, atleast that is all I can think of.

I spoke with Phil Goss via email and USARK has contacted Rep. Diana Urban. He has requested a list of addresses, emails, and phone numbers for CT residents that would not mind being contacted by Rep. Urban. She would like to speak directly with CT residents concerning the issue. Thoughts?

I also completed the email link USARK has attached to the proposed bill and received a positive response from Sen. Chapin.

Jon- Can we exchange contact info via PM? Last semester produced an independent research project on the qualifications of injurious and invasive species as it relates to boas and pythons. The biggest problem I've had is getting someone besides my professors to read it. I would love the chance to share my data with a representative, especially one in my own state.
