I want to thank Plainfield First Selectman Kevin Cunningham, State Representative Brian Lanoue, members from the Connecticut Department of Transportation, G & W and P & W Railroad professionals, for including me in a detailed discussion of a diagnostic review that was performed Wednesday morning at the crossing on Lillibridge Road.

HARTFORD – The legislature’s Conservative Caucus today blasted the leadership of the Public Health Committee for cutting Connecticut residents off after twenty-four hours and ending public discussion regarding proposed legislation that would end the state’s religious exemption from immunization, and potentially expel thousands of healthy children from public schools across the state.

Yesterday, after being honored to take the oath of office to protect the Constitution of our state and country, I voted against the rules allowing the legislature to make laws by remote control without any personal interaction with the voters.
This is being done because of public health issues but that is a dodge of responsibility of the highest order. Every day our fellow citizens are going to work, caring for their children and parents, holding onto their businesses and serving the public. Yet…

I support Leader-Elect Candelora’s call to delay the scheduled pay raises and the 0.5% payroll tax targeting members of the private sector.
We are in a time when people are losing their jobs and some businesses are closing their doors. It is wrong that some are getting pay raises, while being exempt from this latest tax and others are left to shoulder the financial burden.
With so many struggling, it is hard to fathom why select people should see more money coming out of their paychecks.

Friends and Neighbors,
Back in October, I posted on Facebook regarding the effects that COVID-19 is having on those who suffer from depression and other mental health disorders. The numbers according to the American Medical Association were staggering with more than 40 states seeing an increase in opioid-related deaths with relapse and overdose rates increasing to 30%.
Today, the Lieutenant Governor noted that since March, domestic violence calls are up more than 70%, and shelters are at 151%, which…
