I am very excited about tonight's Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration, "Celebrating our Collective Heritage: Past, Present & Future" at HRA beginning at 6 p.m.!

Several measures passed during the 2025 legislative session will take effect on Wednesday, October 1, including an update to our motorcycle and e-bike laws that reflect our continued efforts to promote public safety and adapt to emerging technologies on our roads.

Tomorrow, we remember the 2,996 lives lost on September 11, 2001, the thousands who have died since due to exposure to toxic chemicals, and the countless lives that were forever changed.

Here's a reminder about Saturday's New Britain Community Forum Meeting at Roma Sports Bar & Grill at 382 Allen Street, from noon to 2 p.m. I hope you can join me and my colleagues to discuss and learn more about our communities.

I want to wish all of our students good luck and a happy, safe 2025-26 school year. I hope all of us enjoy Labor Day weekend. Please be safe. Speaking of safe, I've included an item this week on school bus safety. It is important, as is the law in CT for passing a stopped school bus.

We're into the final weeks of the summer. That means back-to-school bashes and Sales Tax-Free Week are right around the corner - and they are.

Our second heat wave of the summer is almost over, but it is still necessary to take precautions, and, most especially, to stay hydrated. Let's make sure our family, friends, and the most vulnerable among us are doing the same.

Several new laws passed during the 2025 legislative session will take effect on Tuesday, July 1.
