It may interest you to see some of the issues (and the associated requests, pleas, admonishments, and demands) filling my inbox at the moment. While I may be inviting many more such “valentines,” it is my job, after all, to keep you aware of the issues on your neighbors’ minds.

There are a few public hearings scheduled for next week that might be of interest to the public.

The Human Services Committee will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, February 7, at 11 a.m.

Extreme cold weather is expected in the coming days across the state. It is important to be mindful that with it brings increased risks to us and our communities.

The Public Health Committee will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, February 1, at 11 a.m.

Here are the public hearings scheduled for the week of January 30.

In my ongoing effort to make government more transparent and to encourage all residents of Chester, Deep River, Winthrop, Essex, Ivoryton, Centerbrook, Haddam, Tylerville and Higganum to become more engaged in the civic progress, I will, over the next several weeks, be sending out regular e-blasts on pending public hearings.

Please join me for a Community Conversation at Haddam Neck Fire Station (third floor) on Tuesday, January 31, at 10 a.m. Please RSVP to Kyle.Fishbein@cga.ct.gov
