The feeling of fall is in the air, especially with the harvest super moon last night and I know that I am looking forward to the cooler days and nights, the apple cider donuts, and the fall festivals and events.

Each year we get a little further away from that fateful 9/11 in 2001, but the grief from that day is always within reach. We have never been the same and our connections to New York, Washington, and Shanksville are deeply personal.

It’s hard to imagine that we will honor September 11th next week for the 23rd time. The weather this week reminded me of how eerily beautiful that week was. I mention this ahead of the anniversary because the public is invited to attend the public memorial in the state’s official ceremony in Westport.

This has been an incredibly difficult month for me and my family and I think it’s important to share why if you’ve noticed I have been a little quiet on social media and in these weekly newsletters.

While we continue to experience unsettled weather, it’s a good time to remind you that when your phone sends an emergency alert or you see one on TV, or hear one on the radio, you must heed the warnings immediately.

As I continue to hear from many of you about your skyrocketing electric bills, I want you to know I am as upset as you are.

If you saw an unwelcome rise in your electricity bill this month, I share your frustration and want to provide more information about the factors contributing to it.
