New Canaan End-of-Session Town Hall
June 15, 2023I will be co-hosting an end of session conversation with my New Canaan colleagues, Rep. Denning and Sen. Maher to highlight some of this year's session accomplishments and present some of our legislative work to our constituents.
The Budget We Passed Promotes Fiscal Stability & Responsibility
June 6, 2023The House of Representatives delivered a state budget that includes the largest income tax cut in the state’s history and significant increases in funding for local schools, also known as Education Cost Sharing (ECS) funds.
Expanding Services to our IDD Population
May 30, 2023I proudly led House passage of one of our top legislative priorities this session - HB 5001, a measure addressing and expanding vital services to our Intellectually, Developmentally Disabled (IDD) population by connecting people with the programs they need and qualify for. Delivering on this key legislative priority this session was critical in part because it has been lacking adequate funding and services for far too long.
New Credit Rating Upgrade
May 21, 2023Good news for Connecticut's growing economy! Connecticut just received an upgraded credit rating from the Kroll Bond Rating Agency, which means that our General Obligation bond credit rating was upgraded from AA (stable) to AA+ (stable), just one step below the highest credit rating possible!
Eversource, UI File Reduced Rates For Electricity With PURA
May 17, 2023Eversource and United Illuminating (UI), Connecticut's two electric distribution companies (EDCs), have filed new and lower standard service rates for residential customers from July 1 through December 31 with the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA), and the average bills are expected to decrease significantly from current levels.
The House of Representatives has Passed Early Voting
May 5, 2023Connecticut voters asked the legislature for more voting options through a constitutional amendment on early voting that they overwhelmingly approved, and we are answering the call.
Breaking Down the Budget Process
April 22, 2023We are more than halfway through the regular session, and this is the time of year when legislative activity picks up in the Connecticut General Assembly. After weeks of holding public hearings, the Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee and Appropriations Committee approved their budget proposals (Appropriations handles the spending side and Finance handles the revenue side).
