Please join me and State Comptroller Sean Scanlon for a special presentation on the no-cost ArrayRX Prescription Drug Discount Card at the Executive Square House, 100 Executive Square in Wethersfield, on Thursday at 2 p.m.

I wanted to make you aware of a couple of events that may be of interest to you.

Last week, the legislature was called into Special Session. What does that mean? It means that the Governor along with House and Senate leaders made a special call to the legislature to bring us in for business that needed statutory changes. Here's what we addressed:

The Connecticut Student Loan Repayment Program incentivizes eligible health care providers to practice full-time in underserved Connecticut communities for at least two years by offering up to $50,000 in student loan repayments. Part-time options are also available for $12,500 per year over two years, totaling $25,000.

Here is a friendly reminder to join me and fellow legislators Amy Morrin Bello and John Fonfara for a legislative Coffee Hour at Heirloom Market in Wethersfield tomorrow.

We took the ferry to Glastonbury. The season is underway! Please see below for more details as well as information on upcoming events I hope you can attend.

I wanted to share some information and resources in this week's update that may be of help to you, including several car insurance discounts for Connecticut drivers who are at least 60 years of age.

Due to the recent rain and snow, the river is too high for the opening day of the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry. Please stay tuned for an update as we watch the flood levels.
