I am pleased that after years of hard work, the much anticipated Borinqueneers Memorial is getting off the ground.

Thank you to those who took time to answer my online survey on the implementation of tolls and the legalization of marijuana. I wanted to share the results with you and here they are! Thank you for participating and for giving me feedback on these critical topics. I will continue to listen carefully as we continue our dialogue regarding these important issues for our state.

I am pleased to share news that New Britain’s Columbus Commons Housing project is moving forward!

My colleague, Senator Terry Gerratana and I, will be holding office hours on Saturday, April 8. Please join us!

The Black and Puerto Rican Caucus heard from many constituents across the state about what is important to them during a public forum at the State Capitol. Their concerns are at the center of the ongoing conversations we are having with our state leaders as the budget negotiations take place.

Today, I had the honor to introduce and welcome Mr. Juan Busanet, a local New Britain hero to the House Chamber.

The state 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. It is encouraging to see the community getting involved in our legislative process.

Our state already allows students who do not have legal immigration status to attend state colleges and universities and pay the in-state tuition rate. Their tuition contributes to the pool of colleges’ financial aid. They are within their right to benefit from the available aid to help them cover their expenses. I support them in this effort.
