I am calling on state and local officials to ensure a transparent and deliberative process as an out-of-state energy company seeks to develop the largest solar farm in New England along County and Hoskins roads in Simsbury.
We cannot allow those that would commit the horrendous crime of human trafficking to see Connecticut as a complacent state where they could ply their trade with impunity. This crime deserves no less than a class A felony and I look forward to support in the Senate and signing into the law by the governor.
I am pleased to announce a bill I co-sponsored that makes the commission of a hate crime a felony and increases potential penalties upon a conviction passed the House unanimously and now heads to the Senate.
I thank all the dedicated volunteers who made this Earth Day cleanup successful. This type of volunteerism and community pride is what makes Simsbury special. I also give a big thank you to Fitzgerald’s Foods for the donation of gloves and garbage bags, as well as Paine’s Inc. Recycling and Disposal Services for the donation of dumpsters and recycle bins.
