This is my State Capitol update for the week of July 5.

Happy (almost) Fourth of July weekend!  This year the holiday, honoring our country’s history and our emergence from the last 18 months, seems more celebratory than ever.  There are many community events planned locally, including art, music, fireworks, and many farmers’ markets, and I hope to see you out there, dodging a rain drop or two. 

This is my State Capitol update for the week of June 21.

This is my State Capitol update for the week of June 14.

Last night, minutes before midnight, the 2021 Regular Legislative Session gaveled out.  While we do expect in the coming days to return for a special session to address some unfinished business, we’ve accomplished a lot, including the bipartisan passage of a strong biennium budget.  That’s a big deal for everyone who lives and works in Connecticut. 

This is my State Capitol update for the week of June 1.

In the midst of the brisk legislative pace, there were a couple of national occasions I wanted to acknowledge.  A light one is that today is National Running Day (who knew?). 

This Memorial Day weekend seems like one we’ve been looking forward to for a long time.  It’s been a long work week, and a long year of challenge that we are finally emerging from.  Some towns are moving forward with parades, others will not hold them this year, so please be sure to check your town’s website for the most up to date information.
