Today, Governor Lamont as signed SB 341, establishing a fallen officer fund.

We're getting deep into our short session, which means we are getting busy debating and passing legislation on the House Floor.

I am very sad to learn of the passing of Town of Woodstock First Selectman Jay Swan.

We're getting deeper and deeper into session, which means there are plenty of bills moving along through the process which can benefit millions of CT residents. The members of the Public Safety and Security Committee are continuing to do their part in making sure the right bills get through the process, like retaining and recruiting first responders, regulating fireworks sales, protecting our service dogs, and much more that will be debated throughout the session.

With the legislative session still being in its early stages, this part of the process will focus on reviewing bills that will make it to the House floor to improve the lives of Connecticut residents. As the chair of the Public Safety and Security Committee, I will be sitting through many meetings and public hearings to review the merit of all these bills and hear the testimonies of a diverse selection of experts to understand which bills will be the most beneficial.

The Legislative Session has officially started, meaning I have my work cut out ahead of me to make sure Connecticut is the best place to live for all of my constituents.

Today we celebrated another annual Duck Day, now a ten year tradition for Eastford.
