The CT Democrats’ plan to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles in Connecticut by 2035 is the epitome of the classic bait and switch, with car emissions being shifted from their tailpipe to a smokestack.

Fully electric vehicles do not produce CO2 when operating on our streets, but manufacturing the massive batteries needed to move them along certainly does.  Instead of openly discussing the impacts from manufacturing these supposed Earth-saving wonder machines, nebulous terms and hand-picked data are…

Connecticut Democrats pushing to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 claim positive environmental impacts of using electric vehicles, including cleaner air.

However, as they demonize the current auto industry as outdated and polluting, they fail to consider the true impacts a radical shift to all electric vehicles will have on our world, including the brutal environmental destruction from mining cobalt and lithium.  On top of that, those markets are dominated by countries with woefully horrific…

Every day, we depend on large semi-trucks to deliver the goods and products we use, including necessary items like food, medications, and building supplies.

Companies that deliver goods by truck will be forced to pass along the increased operational costs that come from having trucks and drivers sitting idle while trucks charge for 8-10 hours. Inflation already has Connecticut residents struggling to make ends meet, and the latest plan by CT Democrats to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by…

The governor claims the proposal to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles won’t have an adverse affect on the business community, but just the cost of replacing a single semi truck is staggering.

Imagine your small business having to spend $250,000 MORE to purchase a new truck that doesn’t allow you to drive nearly as far before having to stop for an extended period to charge it up.  It will cost more up front, have substantially longer downtime between runs and won’t drive nearly as far before needing…

Small businesses are the backbone of our state economy, and the legislature should be working to encourage more entrepreneurship, not stifle growth.

Unfortunately, under the guise of environmentalism, Democrats are proposing yet another anti-business, anti-consumer measure that will take more money out of YOUR pocket.

Their proposed Connecticut ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles in our state by 2035 will exponentially increase the costs of goods and services as trucking companies, shippers…

The Democrat-proposed ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars and trucks in Connecticut by 2035 isn’t quite the environmental boon they’re pretending it will be.

Connecticut already faces electricity “brown outs” and service disruptions, especially during the peak summer months when households statewide crank up air conditioners to fight the heat and humidity.

Experts say it takes the same amount of energy to power 1 electric semi-truck as it does to power 400 homes! That’s not a trade I’m willing…

For months, I have been working with my House Republican colleagues to stop the Democrat-proposed BAN on the sale of new gas-powered cars and trucks in Connecticut.

We have urged the governor and majority-party Democrats to “pump the brakes” on their ill-conceived plan, and have the FULL general Assembly debate and vote.  So far, they have been unwilling to discuss it, and under the guise of clean air want to strip your ability to choose and force us to abide by laws created and passed thousands of…

In a press release, the Connecticut Department of Agriculture (CT DoAg) announced that the Animal Population Control Program (APCP) began accepting applications for the Low-Income Program to assist eligible Connecticut residents with vaccination and sterilization of their owned pets on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
