Today my colleagues on the Black & Puerto Rican Caucus and I held a press conference to announce our 2019 legislative priorities, critical issues affecting our communities: housing, justice reform, decriminalization of cannabis use, education and health.
To help our friends and neighbors, I am gratified that we have passed legislation, which has already been signed into law, making available unemployment assistance, interest-free loans of up to $5,000 and other resources for them. – Brandon
Everyone’s painfully aware of the financial hardship CT’s federal workers are suffering because of the U.S. government shutdown. We’re trying to do whatever we can to help and today Gov. Lamont announced a partnership with Webster Bank to give the employees interest-free loans until the shutdown is ended.
With today’s opening of the 2019 legislative session, Speaker of the House Joe Aresimowicz appointed Rep. Brandon McGee the House chairman of the legislature’s Housing Committee.
