A hard reality sets in tomorrow for more than 500,000 Connecticut residents when interest begins accruing again for student loan borrowers enrolled in the SAVE Plan. I can't imagine the impact this will have on many who are already struggling to get by.

Summer is here - big time! We're in the midst of our second heat wave already. As you may have heard, the governor has issued an extreme hot weather protocol through Friday night.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Christel Truglia, a former State Representative and staple in Stamford, who was committed and dedicated to improving the lives of children in our city.

Summer is here, and we hope you get a chance to enjoy the many parks, beaches, and attractions our beautiful state has to offer.

I wanted to share some of the accomplishments made in the Children's Committee and for the City of Stamford in the state budget. I'm proud of the work we did, both for the city and the state.

Several new state laws that were passed during the 2025 legislative session and before will take effect next week on July 1.

The protocol will be in effect from noon on Sunday until at least 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

Juneteenth – June 19 - celebrates the end of slavery in our country, but the history of this important state and federal holiday was not widely known for many years.
