It is the end of August, which means that summer is coming to a close and our students, teachers, and school staff are all heading back to the classroom. While I'm sad to see summer go, this is my favorite time of year. There is always so much excitement surrounding back-to-school- a time of new possibilities, friendships, experiences, and opportunities. I am sending the best wishes to all our students, teachers, and school staff for a fantastic new school year ahead!
Additionally, I hope you will read my piece that was published in the CT Post on an issue that I know is critically important to this community- housing. Lastly, there is an important joint committee meeting on Monday about home heating assistance and renewing the federal assistance plan. As the Vice Chair of the Human Services Committee, I am looking forward to ensuring this essential assistance makes it to our in-need families and seniors, particularly as the price of home heating oil has increased.
