Rep. Hall Votes in Opposition to Government Overreach in Vaccine Bill

"As a fully vaccinated individual, I didn’t vote in opposition to HB-5044 because I’m against them, but rather for its overreaching and reactionary nature. It encroaches on an individual’s rights and freedom to choose while also granting isolated power to one entity to determine the vaccines you and your family must take," Rep. Hall said. "For these reasons I couldn't support this bill. These choices should be left up to you and your doctor, not Hartford lawmakers."

Rep. Hall and House Republicans Drive Earmark Reforms

Recent media scrutiny into how legislative earmarks were given to various organizations shockingly revealed there was very little oversight into the process. Audits revealed that some of the organizations lacked any verifiable public presence or solid track record of work. This revelation combined with a federal probe into an active state senator prompted House Republicans to push for reforms. An important component of HB-5039 is addressing a gap that allows recipients to pass along funds to another organization without approval, transparency, or accountability. Additionally, earmark recipients would also require prior approval and any organization receiving passed-along funds would also be subject to the same transparency requirements as the original earmark recipient.

Rep. Hall Joins Special Guests at Hazardville Memorial Elementary for Reading Event

State Rep. Carol Hall had the honor of being a special guest this morning during Hazardville Memorial's annual reading event. As part of this event, each student gets to choose their very own special person to come into their classroom and read alongside them for a period of time. For students whose special person is unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict, work, or some other reason, the school reaches out to various community members to fill in as that student's special guest. "It was extremely special to have had the opportunity to volunteer and be Lilly's special guest," Rep. Hall said. She is a big fan of Mo Willems, so I got a chance to learned who he is and all about the Pigeon and Piggie and Gerald." "Thank you to Principal Fitzsimons for having me and Ms. Killmer for inviting me into her classroom. It was a very special day and one I won't forget."

Rep. Hall Participates in Annual Reading Event

Representative Hall enjoyed her visit to Eli Whitney School last week as part of Read Across America Day! "It was a pleasure to have had another chance to read to Mrs. Silva's 3rd grade and Mrs. Suleski's 4th grade classes. The students were attentive, polite, respectful, and engaged. With the book being about pet adoption, it gave me an opportunity to share pictures of the new Bernese Mountain dog we recently adopted," Rep. Hall said. Next week Representative Hall will be at Hazardville Memorial School in Enfield and Broad Brook Elementary in East Windsor for additional reading opportunities!
