Connecticut has passed legislation expanding the eligibility for the Connecticut Family Medical Leave Act (CT FMLA) and Connecticut Paid Family Medical Leave Insurance (CT Paid Leave) to include non-certified employees at K-12 schools, both public and nonpublic, and to school nurses without a Certified School Nurse Designation.

Last week, I was contacted by Cheshire Republicans to provide a statement on the Housing Bill. However, they did not share with me their poor understanding of the bill in question prior to publication. Had they done so, I could have explained the facts before they released highly inflammatory commentary on the bill.

In their defense, these individuals are not lawmakers, and do not spend their time reading complicated statute. However, I have continuously offered my time to discuss any concerns.

Since this article has been published without fact-checking, I offer this point-by-point rebuttal for the benefit of my constituents. The article in its entirety is below in black, and my responses are in red.

Hamden Fire Chief Jeffery Naples received a proper send off as he retired from the department with a distinguished career. He worked there for nearly 20 years, starting as a firefighter and climbing up the ranks. Chief Naples dedicated his life to the Hamden community and guided the fire department through challenging times. Congratulations on your retirement and best of luck!

This Wednesday, I was proud to be sworn in for another term as State Representative at the Connecticut General Assembly. It was great to see my legislative colleagues again and begin planning how we are going to help the people of Connecticut this session.

From my family to yours, I want to take a moment to send my best wishes for the holiday season. May it bring you and your loved ones peace, happiness and time well spent together. Remember that no matter how we celebrate, we also share many blessings. So, in the spirit of the season, please spread the joy that makes this time of the year truly special.
