Reps. Stokes and Hall Update Enfield Seniors on New Legislation
ENFIELD – State Representatives Greg Stokes (R-58) and Carol Hall (R-59) hosted a coffee and conversation legislative update at the Enfield Senior Center on Wednesday, October 10th. The informal conversation covered the major topics from the 2018 legislative session and acts of particular interest for senior citizens. The Representatives discussed their efforts on the Appropriations Committee to produce balanced budgets that restored funding for Enfield public schools and efforts to stop proposals which would have resulted in increased property taxes, such as shifting state teacher retirement costs to municipalities. The non-partisan Office of Legislative Research produces reports at the end of each legislative session outlining major topics, “Acts Affecting Seniors” can be accessed online at www.cga.ct.gov/olr.
