I am pleased to announce that the State Bonding Commission approved $15 million in funding for Groton Utilities.

I applaud the House passage of a bill that improves the safety of citizens using transportation network companies (TNC’s), such as Uber and Lyft. The bill incorporates language of Conley’s own bill, HB 6275, which aimed to require these companies to submit their drivers to criminal background checks.

I am pleased to announce a bill I supported that makes the commission of a hate crime a felony and increases potential penalties upon a conviction passed the House unanimously and now heads to the Senate.

The CBA YLS held its annual legislative breakfast at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on May 3. Section members met with Attorney General George Jepsen, State Comptroller Kevin Lembo, and State Representatives Christine Conley and Stephanie Cummings at the event.

Legislators in the House of Representatives voted Wednesday in favor of a bill that expands access to the angel investor tax credit program to businesses in any industry, will help more small businesses gain access to the capital they need to grow and create jobs.

I want to notify Ledyard, Groton and New London residents that the state has invested in repairing the Gold Star Memorial Bridge.

I am proud to be hosting a public forum with Rep. Joe de la Cruz and Sen. Heather Somers. We are looking forward to discussing ideas, questions and comments!

Here in Connecticut, we take pride in caring for each and every one of our citizens. As a result, our state is always near the top of “quality of life” surveys. As recently as November of 2016, a report by the financial news website, 24/7 Wall St, ranked Connecticut as the second best state to live in.
