I'm excited to announce that with the support of Sen. Mae Flexer, the Windham-Tolland 4-H Camp will be receiving $1,000,000 in funds that will go to Emergency Dam Repairs.

I'm proud to announce that Senator Mae Flexer and I secured an additional $2 million in the spending stabilization bill, or Bill 5523, for Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam, bringing the two-year package of total state aid for the hospital to $17 million.

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.
