Eversource’s proposal to raise electric bills by another $25 per month is outrageous and unacceptable. Connecticut families are already stretched thin by the high burden of property taxes, rising gas and grocery costs, healthcare, childcare, and utilities. Requiring residents to pay even more while Eversource reports nearly $1.7 billion in profits and pays its CEO $13.5 million is exactly why we passed modest protections in 2023 to limit profit at the expense of ratepayers.

Connecticut’s dairy farms are small, family-owned businesses that support local jobs and provide fresh, nutritious food to communities across our state. To help sustain these vital local operations, we are proud to announce that $22.5 million has been allocated from Connecticut’s Federal Cuts Response Fund we created to provide immediate relief to the approximately 80 dairy farmers in the state.

The legislative session has wrapped up, I’m proud of the progress we made, especially in the final stretch.

We're in the home stretch, with the session ending at midnight Wednesday into Thursday.

On Monday and Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed a total of three pieces of legislation that originated in the Aging Committee.

We were in session every day this week, and passed important measures including guns, voting and medical credit card consumer protections.

Spring has indeed (finally) sprung. The daffodils of Bud’s field in Redding were showing off this past weekend, in full regalia.

As many Connecticut families begin their spring cleaning, it’s also a great time to safely clear out unused or expired medications from your home. Proper disposal helps prevent misuse and protects our communities and environment.
