Robin Comey

I have been focusing on a number of important public health related issues during the last few weeks and wanted to give you a quick update.

The state Department of Revenue Services (DRS) over-reached, or misinterpreted, the state budget and unilaterally expanded the sales tax.

I am proud to announce that I was one of few legislators to score a perfect voting record this past session.

Summer is coming to a close and kids will soon be heading back to school. To help working families prepare – and save – Connecticut offers its annual Sales Tax Free Week. From Sunday, August 18 through Saturday, August 24, you can save on clothing and footwear - and send your kids back to school in style! 

I will be hosting a community conversation together with my colleague, Senator Cohen on Tuesday, September 17 at 6:30pm in Branford.

This summer has been very productive and I continue to attend meetings, workshops and conferences that are being held by agencies throughout the state. At the beginning of session, I was tapped to serve as co-chair of the CT Kid’s Report Card Leadership Committee, a group of diverse key stakeholders charged with providing the legislature’s Children’s Committee with input that promotes the well-being of our state’s children. 

We passed several laws this year that will help the growing technology and the biosciences industry with the goal of making it easier to do business and attracting more companies to Connecticut.

I hope you can come join me this Friday morning from 8:00am to 9:00 am at Shoreline Cafe - 1247 Main Street - to talk about this past legislative session and address any concerns or questions you may have.
