Dear Neighbor,
I am proud to share some historic highlights from the 2022
legislative session.
Historic like more than $650 million in tax cuts. Historic like
our investment in the mental health of our children. Historic
like our commitment to growing jobs and our economy.
Historic like a state budget that pays off millions in pension
debt and continues our record rainy day fund while investing
in Hamden and New Haven’s schools, mental health, public
safety and programs that work - all while honoring the
spending cap
That’s not to say we aren’t facing challenges. We are seeing
inflation that hits everyone’s wallets and housing prices
that are pricing many out of even modest homes. That’s
why I fought hard to provide you with relief: increasing the
property tax payment, phasing out taxes on retirement
income, creating a childcare rebate, cutting the gas tax and
more.
I hope you find this newsletter packed with useful information.
It is my pleasure to serve as your state representative.

The Black and Puerto Rican Caucus (BPRC) held a press conference in Hartford today to discuss its nine pillars or legislative priorities for the 2022 session.

Black history is being made every day. CT NAACP’s ‘100 Most Influential Blacks’ Award recipients included fifteen of our own democratic state representatives.

The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters' (CTLCV) Environmental Scorecard holds lawmakers accountable for where they stand on issues related to the environment and sets the stage for the next session's – in this case 2022 - environmental priorities.

The Honorable Richard A. Robinson has achieved so much that it won't even fit in one post!
