Legislative Updates, LIHEAP, CT Home Funds, and more
April 11, 2025I hope this message finds you and your family well! It was a productive week at the Capitol, with the House back in session on Wednesday, where we voted on various executive and legislative nominations. My colleagues and I continue to debate and discuss which bills will move forward in the legislative process. The coming weeks will be crucial as we prioritize policies that will best serve our community.
Legislative Updates, Upcoming Senior Event, and more
April 4, 2025I hope this message finds you and your family doing well and enjoying the first few days of spring! It's been a busy few weeks at the Capitol as committee meetings and public hearings are wrapping up. Many committees have voted to bills to continue moving through the legislative process so they may be passed later this session. Some committees, such as the Finance and Appropriations Committees, are still very busy in hearings about the budget. Other jobs, like that of Deputies like me, are ramping up as we read through every bill that has advanced out of individual committees.
