Updates from State Rep. Larry Butler for Jan. 16, 2025

January 17, 2025


 
You’ve likely heard about the Prospect Holdings bankruptcy filing, which includes Waterbury Hospital; Gov Lamont and Attorney General Tong are currently handling the matter on behalf of the state.

In addition, I, along with the Waterbury delegation, will be monitoring the situation closely and will keep you informed as more details emerge. Waterbury Hospital is a vital part of our city, as well as surrounding communities.

Our concerns lie with the health, safety and welfare of the patients, as well as the excellent staff at the hospital.
 
Don't Be Scammed
I want to make sure all of you stay safe and informed! A new scam is circulating where fraudsters are sending text messages claiming you have an unpaid toll and asking for payment. Please DO NOT click any links or provide any personal information.
 
Here are some tips from the FBI:
⚠️If you receive one of these messages, file a complaint with the IC3, www.ic3.gov. Include where the number of the originating text came from, and the website from which the number was generated.
 
⚠️Delete any scam texts received.
 
⚠️If you clicked any link or provided your information, take efforts to secure your personal information and financial accounts. Dispute any unfamiliar charges.
⚠️Always verify any toll-related charges directly through official state websites or customer service.
 
Stay vigilant and share this message with your friends and family to help protect our community!
 
Remembering & Honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
As we approach Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the extraordinary legacy of a leader whose vision of justice, equality, and nonviolent resistance transformed our nation and inspired the world. Dr. King's unwavering commitment to civil rights reminds us of the power of courage, compassion, and collective action to create meaningful change.

 

Together we can continue to advance the dream Dr. King so eloquently shared - a world where freedom and dignity are the birthright of all people.
 
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at my office.
