I ended a productive week at the Capitol this morning by attending a press conference on SB2, the relevant part of which would dedicate 50% of the additional 1% per sales-and-use taxes imposed on meals sold by eating establishments, caterers or grocery stores to the Tourism Fund, and the other 50% to the municipality in which such revenue was generated.

As state legislators, we have a duty to put families first and ensure that rapidly evolving technology does not harm our children.

This is a long introduction, but -- I promise -- is worth the read.

The work continues.

I started Wednesday morning standing alongside mayors, superintendents, faith leaders, education advocates, and students calling for stronger investment in public education through an increased Education Cost Sharing formula.

No one exemplifies the dedication, determination and decency of public service like Miss Vicky. She's always smiling, always happy.

I want to update you on a bill I will be testifying on next week, Raised Bill 5275, An Act Concerning a Contractor’s Responsibility for Unpaid Wages on a Construction Contract.

As many of you know, I got my start in public office serving on the Danbury Board of Education.

Danbury’s House delegation kicked off the first day of session by welcoming our city’s biggest advocate, Mayor Roberto Alves.
