I hope you are all doing well. I hope you're staying cool, too. An extreme weather protocol is still in effect for Connecticut and I have included more information about it in this newsletter.

I hope you are all enjoying the warm weather. It will be warmer next week, so be careful. There is a good variety of news, information, and updates in this week's newsletter, from the Ranked Choice Voting Working Group's first meeting and the gist of what our likely special session will be about to a champion Chef and good guy right in our neighborhood to upcoming community events.

In this week's newsletter, you'll find a variety of content, such as important bill signings by Governor Lamont and upcoming bond funding for our area.

I hope you're doing well. While our legislative work in Hartford was completed on May 8th, we will likely have a special session soon regarding car taxes. I still hope that we take up legislation focused on climate action that was not taken up in the Senate.

We have some warm days to look forward to and I hope you enjoy them. I also want to wish you and your family a safe Memorial Day. Now onto this week's newsletter, which includes the following topics:

The 2024 legislative session has ended but we will continue to provide news and updates as it relates to the 41st district. This week's newsletter has both as well as a couple of important reminders from Eversource and the Department of Transportation.

We ended the 2024 legislative session, Sine Die, on Wednesday at Midnight. We had some legislative wins and losses, but we will continue to fight for what's right, including comprehensive climate legislation to protect our environment.

We're down to the final few days of session, so the focus on this week's newsletter, and probably the next two, will focus on bills we passed in 2024. The session ends on May 8th. We've had some long nights but that's ok. We're in the people's house. We're working for the people. On to this week's newsletter. The topics include:
