Many thanks to the Community Investment Fund (CIF) for its commitment to Stamford!

I hope you’ve been enjoying the preview of the spring-like temperatures we’ve been having lately.

It’s a bittersweet feeling when it comes to my friend and colleague, Sen. Ceci Maher.

We're in session today to address emergency legislation on several critical issues that were previously approved in the Senate on Wednesday. I will vote for its passage. I hope many of my colleagues do as well.

Today, our nation mourns the passing of the Reverend Jesse Jackson, a giant in the civil rights movement, a prophetic voice for justice, and a leader whose life opened doors for millions of people.
