Raghib Allie-Brennan

In the past week, the Energy and Technology Committee took a step towards our second overhaul of electric utility accountability and regulation in three years with a bipartisan committee vote on Senate Bill 7 aimed at cutting consumer costs.

This Legislative Session, I introduced a bipartisan package of bills with State Senator Ryan Fazio advocating for changes to state statute 8-30g in an effort to increase local control over housing and zoning issues.

Speaker of the House Matt Ritter has appointed me as the Chair of the bipartisan House Select Committee on Sustainable and Renewable Energy.

I have some exciting news to share with you! I have been named Deputy Majority Leader by House Majority Leader Jason Rojas starting with the next legislative session that convenes in January.

On Sunday, October 23 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., the Bethel Public Library will debut its recently renovated Teen space and expanded Project Lab to the community. Rep. Allie-Brennan will join the Library for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m.

State Representative Raghib Allie-Brennan (D-Bethel, Danbury, Redding, Newtown) and the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority will hold a Virtual PURA 101 Workshop on Tuesday, September 13 at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.

Today, we mark 17 years since Hurricane Katrina made landfall and the levees broke, claiming more than 1,800 lives and displacing more than a million people.

Anyone who has traveled between Newtown and Bethel along Route 302/Sugar Street has driven through the sharp curve near Hattertown and Dodgingtown Road. With a recent uptick in accidents, I worked with the Persaud family and State Department of Transportation to install chevron signs along the curve in concert with road paving.
