Representative Nuccio and Senator Gordon Get Needed School Space Waiver for Willington School Construction Project

HARTFORD, CT - State Representative Tammy Nuccio (R-Tolland) and State Senator Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock) and highlighted ongoing efforts to support Willington’s proposed school construction project as the town considers plans to consolidate Center Elementary School and Hall Memorial School into a single, modern facility. The Willington School Building Committee continues to develop the proposal as residents evaluate options to replace aging infrastructure and improve educational opportunities. In support of these efforts, Sen. Gordon and Rep. Nuccio secured legislation last year providing Willington with a significant increase in state reimbursement for school construction. Building on that progress, they also secured additional legislation this year, allowing the town to receive the enhanced reimbursement rate for up to 10,000 square feet of construction beyond the state’s standard limit, further strengthening the financial viability of the proposed project. “This is about doing right by the students in Willington while also reducing costs for taxpayers who make all of this possible,” said Rep. Nuccio . “Our schools are aging, and families deserve a plan that sets students up for success without overburdening the community. This added flexibility and higher reimbursement help make that possible, and I’m proud we were able to deliver that for Willington.” "This is another huge benefit for Willington," said Sen. Gordon . "By working collaboratively and advocating for the needs of Willington’s residents and students, these measures provide meaningful support should the town move forward with a new school building project. The school construction reimbursement from the state and the allowance to go reasonably above the space limit set by the state are big money savers for the people of Willington if the project goes forward. This would save a lot of money for the taxpayers, and I am proud to keep working for Willington." "The Town of Willington is truly thankful for the dedicated advocacy from Senator Gordon and Representative Nuccio regarding SB 1. Your leadership and support for the Town of Willington will help Willington taxpayers by significantly reducing the fiscal impact as they move to merge their two schools into one preschool through grade 8 school. Without the backing of Senator Gordon and Representative Nuccio, Willington community members might not even be able to consider such a transformational school infrastructure project. We deeply appreciate their strong support and commitment to driving this legislation for the benefit of the Willington community for decades into the future!" said Michael Makuch, First Selectman, and Phil Stevens, Superintendent of Schools.

Rep. Nuccio Applauds Advancement in the House of Bill to Help Victims of Funeral Home Fraud

HARTFORD – State Representative Tammy Nuccio, R-Tolland, is applauding House passage of legislation aimed at assisting victims harmed by fraudulent or unlawful funeral service practices. The bill passed the House with no opposition by a vote of 146 to 0. Representative Nuccio crafted the proposal, HB 5381 , which establishes a Funeral Service Guaranty Account, to provide restitution to individuals and families who were victimized by fraudulent funeral service practices. The legislation was drafted in response to troubling allegations involving a funeral home with locations in Tolland, Vernon, East Windsor and Coventry where multiple families reported that money entrusted for funeral services was mishandled or stolen. The bill previously advanced from the Appropriations Committee in April with strong bipartisan support and passed the House on Tuesday. HB 5381 now awaits consideration in the Senate. “For the families who were affected, this wasn’t just about money, it was about a terrible breach of trust,” said Rep. Nuccio, the Committee's Ranking House Member . “Families had planned ahead and had entrusted money for services, and instead of being met with compassion and professionalism, they were taken advantage of in one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. That’s something no family should ever have to endure.” “Today’s passage is a significant step forward for these families. It sends a clear message that we hear them, and we are committed to helping them rebuild after what they’ve gone through. This bill creates a path forward to restitution for victims, many of whom lost thousands in this alleged fraud. I urge the Senate to take action so we can deliver the accountability and support these families deserve.” Rep. Nuccio can be contacted at Tammy.Nuccio@housegop.ct.gov or (800) 842-1423 with any questions or concerns related to state government.
