As part of National Farmers Market Week, we encourage you to visit your local farmers' market to pick up and enjoy locally grown food.

I'm happy to share with you that the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters recently released its Environmental Scorecard report on the recent legislative session. CTLCV gave me a 91% on their scorecard.

For the third time this summer, Governor Lamont has activated the Extreme Hot Weather Protocol in Connecticut. The protocol is in effect until at least 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

A recent allocation of state funding will go toward preserving open space and creating local community green areas throughout Connecticut.

Governor Lamont signed legislation this week that puts patients first and holds insurance companies accountable.

Two bills passed by the legislature last month aimed at preserving Connecticut's environment were recently signed into law by Governor Lamont.

Summer is here, and we hope you get a chance to enjoy the many parks, beaches, and attractions our beautiful state has to offer.

The protocol will be in effect from noon on Sunday until at least 8 p.m. on Wednesday.
