State Sen. Michael McLachlan today announced he will be participating in a new bipartisan group of lawmakers which will work together to produce better policies for Connecticut manufacturers.

The “Manufacturing Caucus” – comprised of both Democratic and Republican legislators – will begin meeting regularly to promote manufacturing in Connecticut.

“This caucus is a great way for lawmakers to discuss our common goals for the manufacturing industry in Connecticut,” Sen. McLachlan said. “We all want to grow manufacturing jobs in Connecticut. This coalition will build upon that shared vision while building bonds between legislators. By working together and exchanging ideas, I am optimistic that we can help shape legislation which will have a positive impact on the manufacturing industry and its workforce.”

McLachlan said the caucus should benefit Connecticut taxpayers in the long run.

“We have a tremendous opportunity here,” McLachlan said. “When you have legislators in a room together and listening to each other, you are moving in the right direction. When that discussion is about job creation, you are bound to create common sense policies which will spark small business growth and breed economic success stories.”
