New coordinated measures from Connecticut, New York and New Jersey have been put in place to combat COVID-19 – throughout the tri-state area.

The Connecticut DPH State Laboratory has confirmed three additional individuals have tested positive. In total, 95 individuals have been tested at the State Laboratory: 6 positive and 89 negative.

As Connecticut focuses on containing the coronavirus, the Office of the Attorney General has received multiple complaints regarding large price hikes in basic supplies like hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes.

Mientras Connecticut y nuestro país trabajan para contener el coronavirus, la Oficina del Procurador General ha recibido múltiples quejas con respecto a grandes aumentos abusivos de precio en suministros básicos como desinfectantes para manos y toallas desinfectantes.

In this series of videos, I talk about the 2020 census and the importance of participating and making sure to be counted. It is critical that we have as accurate a count as possible as this affects many areas that impact the government resources allocated to Norwalk and the State of Connecticut. For more information go to www.census.gov.

Although the coronavirus impact on Connecticut has been minimal to date, Governor Lamont and the state are actively working on our preparedness for any eventuality.

The chaotic state of affairs in Washington D.C. can often feel distant from the day-to-day issues that come up in our lives. However, it's important to stay up to date at the federal level because decisions made there can have a direct impact on vital services and programs for residents across our state. Perhaps no better example of this dynamic exists than in proposals concerning the federal budget.

If you're struggling to keep your home warm this winter – you can find help through your utility.

Please join me on Saturday, February 8th at the South Norwalk Library Community Room to discuss whatever topic or concern you may have about your community or the state. I look forward to seeing you there!
