I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the summer!

The Office of Early Childhood (OEC) announced today that it has found a way to ensure families currently enrolled in the Care4Kids program continue to receive the child care subsidy as long as they meet the current income eligibility requirement.

I would like to take a moment to address the Orlando tragedy. As an elected official, many people turn to us in times of crisis to be a voice of reason, a voice of understanding and a voice of hope.

As the school year comes to an end, many students may be looking for a fun activity to participate in this summer. The Summer Leadership Training Program, held at Nichols College in Dudley, MA, offers students Grade 6 through Grade 12 the opportunity to strengthen their leadership and teamwork skills!

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I have several announcements to share with you this week!

The Connecticut Department of Transportation has announced that a milling and resurfacing project will be performed on Route 30 and Route 194 in South Windsor, today, Monday, June 6 through Friday, June 24.

It's been another busy week in Hartford and I'm pleased to say that I have great news to share!

Last Friday night, the House approved the needed adjustments to the FY2017 budget that closed the deficit through spending cuts, without raising taxes, borrowing, or tapping the Rainy Day Fund. I had anticipated providing you with an update and overview, but with the state bonding bill and the Governor's Second Chance 2.0 legislation impacting the budget, I will provide an update after these bills come before us for a vote.

It's been another busy week here at the Capitol and today, the House met for a special session to discuss and vote on the budget. I will continue to update you on the details of the budget and how it effects East Hartford, South Windsor and Manchester in the upcoming week.
