Cristin McCarthy Vahey

Thanks to those of you who have already responded about the Rooster River. Town Engineer Bill Hurley let me know about a meeting happening TONIGHT.

As we continue to deal with the direct impact of the pandemic, state and local government work continues on projects in many other areas. I hope you’ll take a look below at how you can provide input and support.

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to participate in a virtual conference with Dr. Leana Wen, physician, public health professor and contributor to some national news outlets.

House Speaker-designate Matt Ritter and House Majority Leader Jason Rojas today appointed Cristin McCarthy Vahey House chair of the Planning and Development Committee.

There is always a lot of information to share with all of you. As I have throughout this pandemic, I will remind you to please wear your masks, maintain six feet of distance and avoid any gatherings with people outside your home.

I hope this finds you healthy and well. As we head into winter and begin to see an uptick in COVID cases, I expect to once again be in touch more regularly with information and resources.

As many families struggle with the challenges of COVID-19, Access Health has opened enrollment for those with a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) defined as, "A change in your life — like losing health coverage, getting married, having a baby or moving to Connecticut..." This includes the loss of a job and health insurance because of the pandemic.

Today’s note has a lot of information, so bear with me on the length. Some good news and some not so good news.
