I joined the CT Nonprofit Alliance yesterday to speak out against the DDS budget cuts. Nonprofits are the lifeline of our state and we need to do everything we can to make sure we maintain services to the most vulnerable of residents.
Today the Meriden delegation joined with nonprofit organizations in support of passing a state budget that protects the nonprofits. Yes, we need a budget sooner versus later to protect these vital services.
The House has passed House Joint Resolution 100, which calls for a statewide referendum asking voters to amend the State Constitution to ensure that money in the Special Transportation Fund (STF) is in a "lock box" and can be spent only on the state's transportation needs.
We have been making steady progress in dealing with Connecticut’s opioid crisis, but we still have a long way to go. Legislation we passed today that I championed is another step in the right direction.
