Congratulations to West Haven's Zuppardi's Apizza for ranking in the top 5 in public voting on the CT Pizza Capital Trail! The full Pizza Capital Trail will be announced in late September, just in time for National Pizza Month.

The Connecticut Department of Labor officially launched its new e-Apprenticeship Program, proving a streamlined, digital solution to the Registered Apprenticeship Training Program, which is already utilized by many Connecticut state agencies.

On Wednesday, the 50th Anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, the Connecticut House of Representatives unanimously passed (146-0-5) what we call the “CT HERO Act.”

Coming up at the Capitol! The House will be back in session this week. Stay tuned for key updates, votes, and what’s on the legislative agenda.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has launched a statewide distracted Driving Awareness and Enforcement Campaign to Keep Connecticut Roads Safe.

Starting Wednesday, May 7, you will need a REAL ID, U.S. Passport, or U.S. Passport Card to board domestic flights or access certain federal facilities (such as military bases and other federal buildings).

The 4th Annual CGA Kickball Classic is coming up in May. I hope you'll join us and help support Connecticut Foodshare!

Three new state housing programs are designed to help increase homeownership opportunities throughout Connecticut.

The state is investing $30 million into the new "CT Home Funds" program to provide qualifying residents and developers with grants and loans for home improvement, rehabilitation as well as new construction.

Homeownership is not only a life goal of working families, but it helps create stable and strong communities.
