The legislature’s Transportation Committee held a public hearing this week on a proposal to repeal a law allowing the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue driver licenses for driving purposes only.

Running a small business is hard work. We must continue to give entrepreneurs the tools and resources they need to succeed. That is why this year, we have introduced two bills that will help small businesses:

Governor Dannel P. Malloy’s budget proposal increases funding to Connecticut cities – especially Waterbury. The proposal cuts $1.36 billion in spending and increases state funding to Waterbury by over $85 million over the two year budget.

The CT Legislature’s Black and Puerto Rican Caucus held a public forum at the Legislative Office Building to learn about the issues important to the communities we serve.

Waterbury’s recycling coordinator, CJ May, would like to host an informational forum on changes to the city’s recycling services in your neighborhood.

Today was the opening meeting of the Legislative Regulation Review Committee. It is a completely bipartisan committee that reviews regulations proposed by state agencies and approves them before they are implemented.

State Representative Geraldo Reyes was appointed to serve as Vice-Chair of the Commerce Committee in addition to other influential committees.
