Simmons To Become New State Business Advocate

Written by Sam on February 26th, 2007

HARTFORD, Conn. –After losing a tight re-election battle in November, former Republican U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons is in line to become Connecticut’s first business advocate.

The position was created by the legislature last year and fellow Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell nominated Simmons for the job Monday.

Simmons will be responsible for informing businesses about various public and private assistance programs, technical help, job training, state services and financial assistance that are available in the state.
