I write to share some good news. In the State Bond Commission's agenda for the July 23 meeting, they have proposed allocating significant funding for Manchester.

Now that our communities are in the process of re-opening, Connecticut has launched a summer enrichment initiative to provide children with FREE fun and educational opportunities they may have missed out on throughout the pandemic.

Over the next few days Connecticut is expected to experience extreme temperatures that have prompted heat advisories from the National Weather Service through Wednesday.

After months of debate and advocacy, the Town of Manchester will receive significant funding under the state budget that passed both the House and Senate chambers last week.

Last week, the House passed SB 1091, also known as Jennifers' Law, which makes various changes in the laws relating to domestic violence, civil restraining orders, family violence, assistance programs, and certain crimes.

Last night the House passed HB 6646, building upon our many years of progress to assist individuals, families and communities - including Manchester - who have been impacted by the crumbling concrete crisis.

If you have been collecting COVID-related unemployment, please know that there are upcoming changes that will affect the way you file for and receive your benefits.

Starting tomorrow, May 19, 2021, new safety protocols concerning face masks will be implemented in Connecticut following updated recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
