Labor Day Weekend is upon us, and I could hear the cheers of parents and a few tears from the kids as school started this week. I truly hope students and teachers have a wonderful year.

As chilly as it was this morning, the reality of back-to-school is nearly upon us. I hope you've had a chance to take advantage of sales tax-free week on many items the kiddos need for the school year. I've included some school bus safety reminders this week as we get back into the swing of things.

Sharing updated information this week on the Student Loan Reimbursement Program as it will be, once again, taking applications for the program.

I don’t know about you, but it makes me sad that we are now in at least our third year where the smoke from wildfires in Canada is affecting our air quality.

I hope that you are able to stay cool and ensure that your pets are staying off of our incredibly hot roads today.

Thanks to everyone who attended the constituent coffee in Avon this past weekend, and especially, thanks to Beanz & Co. for hosting us.

I hope you're staying as cool as you can in yet another heat wave. This weekend promises to be better, and I hope you'll kick it off Saturday morning with me and Senator Paul Honig at 9 a.m. at Beanz & Company. We will be going over the major bills that passed this session, and if the turnout in Canton when we did this is any indication, it could be packed!

Thanks to all of you who packed the house at Little Oak Cafe this past Saturday. On my surveys, I heard a lot about how important in-person and online events are to you, and that’s why I plan these coffee talks. Our next one is Saturday, July 19, at 9 a.m. at Beanz and Co. in Avon.
