Open testimony is being accepted until 14 March on HB 5304 which would require DESPP to submit to the Public Safety and Security Committee of the State House a comprehensive analysis of its training facility needs and assessing current training sites run by the state prior to the completion of any environmental impact report 'pertaining to a firearms training facility'.  This bill will stop DAS from surreptitiously running over a community and raising a facility against the objection and legal recourse of its residents, as is playing out currently in my town.   I would urge every CGA member not to buy in to the state's assertion  that this bill makes their process costlier and more delayed because they have squandered enormous resources already in failing to show any intent for comparatively higher-return sites.  to submit open testimony  https://www.cga.ct.gov/ps/default.asp     Brian  Williams   Griswold
