In my continued fight to advocate on behalf of senior citizens I wanted to share a detailed breakdown of legislation we passed that will directly affect you.

With Tuesday's announcement from Governor Lamont regarding students having to wear face masks in school through September, many parents have questions on how to keep their kids safe.

Despite Connecticut being ranked one of the top states in the country for COVID-19 response efforts and vaccination rates, it is still vital to remember that the pandemic is not over.

Over 100 new laws in Connecticut will go into effect today. These laws mark the tireless work put in by my colleagues and I over the past few months. We all worked hard to listen to your concerns in order to advocate for you in Hartford.

I am proud to have played a small role in developing this law through the General Law Committee. This has been a long time in the making and our staff and staff at Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection have worked hard behind the scenes on the "nuts and bolts" regulations that will make this the most progressive and thoughtful legalization regime in the country.

I am pleased to announce that the Town of Hamden will receive significant funding under the state budget that we are approving today.

Last night we passed legislation to address the social and economic disparities experienced by individuals with criminal records and those who were formerly incarcerated.

I am pleased to report that yesterday, the State awarded Hamden’s Schools $4,269,674 in grant funding for renovation projects at two of Hamden's oldest elementary schools.
