This past week since Tropical Storm Isaias has hit our community, we have had significant power outages that affected everyone, but especially the medically fragile, the elderly, children with special needs and babies. I have been working hard to get the attention of Eversource and get more crews to resolve the number of outages, prioritizing those who are most vulnerable. I have also been reaching out about the rate increase and I am glad we are expanding this conversation.

Our state has been devastated by Tropical Storm Isaias, causing over 700,000 power outages across Connecticut, prompting Governor Ned Lamont Wednesday to apply for an emergency declaration from the federal government. The declaration was approved and allows Connecticut to request direct federal assistance to bolster its response.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that milling & resurfacing will be performed on Route 106 at Farm Road to the end of the Route 106/124 overlap at Main Street in New Canaan.

This Thursday at 6PM I am going to be co-hosting a virtual town hall with Representative Perone, Representative Simms, Senator Duff, and Superintendent of Norwalk Public Schools Dr. Alexandra Estrella.
