    HARTFORD- As the number of Connecticut veterans grows, State Rep. Christie Carpino (Cromwell & Portland) supported a bill that requires cities and towns to appoint a veterans’ service contact.

    The contact person will act as an ombudsman to guide veterans to the appropriate local, state, or federal resources. Cities or towns that currently have a full time veteran’s representative or provide funding to have access to one would be exempt. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs will conduct a yearly training session for the designated veterans’ service contact personnel.

    During public hearing testimony, the Connecticut Department of Veteran Affairs supported this legislation and its intent to have each municipality to identify a veteran service contact and commits to providing training which would assist them in this program.
    “Connecticut citizens rely on the citizen soldiers of the National Guard and Reserves. A designated point of contact at the local level will be a resource for our veterans of all ages.  We must not forget the many veterans in need and those that require assistance navigating the maze of local and state programs,” said Rep. Carpino.
