I want to take a moment to send my best wishes for the holiday season. As we look forward to the new year, some new laws that we passed are taking effect on January 1.

The severe cold weather protocol will go into effect on Saturday. Thousands of people in need across our state can expect some or all of their medical debt to be eliminated.

A brand-new state program stands to help thousands of people pay back part of their student loan debt. 

Connecticut has made significant progress in strengthening its pension funds for retired state workers and addressing legacy debt. You can expect delays for paving on Route 34 in Derby.

I would like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving! Small Business Saturday shines a spotlight on locally owned businesses.

After two years of patience and collaboration, I am excited to announce the historic Sterling Opera House is on a path toward restoration.

The fire danger remains extreme, and open burning is banned. The revitalized Derby-Shelton Bridge is open for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

You can enroll right now for health insurance via Access Health CT. There is still time to apply for financial assistance after historic floods caused damage over the summer.
