Updates from State Rep. Gregory Haddad for March 14, 2025

March 14, 2025



 

 

I had another productive week at the State Capitol, with committee work winding down. A number of important pieces of legislation have been advanced in the areas of higher education, housing, special education, childcare and long-term care insurance, among other things.

I will keep you posted on the status of these bills as the session continues.
 

POCD Survey

The town of Mansfield is seeking input from people throughout the region to update of the Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development called "Mansfield Tomorrow".

Toward that end, the town has posted an online survey (www.mansfieldtomorrow.org) for anyone to complete. The survey asks stakeholders who live, work, play, or study in Mansfield to evaluate the town’s best qualities and what should be considered in the coming 10 years.
 

Scam Alert

The Central District Major Crime Headquarters has received multiple reports from Connecticut residents about phone calls from unknown male callers claiming to be members of the Connecticut State Police (CSP) or the U.S. Marshal Services.

The scammers, who speak with a thick accent, tell the victims they are under investigation for “money laundering” and request personal information over the phone. The calls appear to be coming from 860-706-5652, which is the CDMC main landline. However, these calls are NOT made by CDMC, and it's believed to be a scam attempt.

While these scam attempts are being investigated, we want to inform the public that these calls are NOT from the Connecticut State Police. Please note that Troopers and Law Enforcement Agencies will never ask for money or personal information over the phone.

If you receive a call that claims to be from the police or any other government agency, DO NOT provide any personal information. Hang up immediately and verify the call by contacting the organization directly using an official phone number.

If the call seems suspicious, report it immediately by calling 911.
 

St. Patrick's Day Reminder

This St. Patrick's Day weekend, Connecticut's Department of Transportation reminds residents to celebrate responsibly and never drive impaired.

St. Patrick's Day is one of the deadliest days on our nation's roads, and the DOT has several safety tips to enjoy this holiday responsibly, including:

  • Designate a sober driver before going out, or plan to use a ride-sharing service, taxi, or public transportation to get home safely.
  • Prepare in advance by installing ride-sharing apps on your phone and saving local taxi numbers. Visit CTtransit.com for bus schedules or CTrail.com for train services across the state.
  • Be a responsible friend by taking the keys away from anyone who is impaired and helping them find a sober ride home.
  • See something, say something by calling 911 if you spot an impaired driver on the road.

Driving under the influence puts your life, along with passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians, in danger. Enjoy the holiday, and make the responsible decision this St. Patrick's Day.
 

As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please reach out to my office.

Sincerely,

Gregg Haddad
