HARTFORD— After a favorable public hearing in the Banking Committee on February 10^th, a bill that State Representative Brian Lanoue (R-45) introduced at the beginning of legislative session (formerly H.B. No. 5207 An Act Concerning the Delivery of Mortgage Modifications Under the Ezequiel Santiago Foreclosure Mediation Program), passed unanimously through the committee. The concept of Rep. Lanoue’s bill will now be included in H.B. No. 6688 An Act Concerning Financial Transactions, which will await…

On Friday, March 3^rd, I was privileged to join members of the Lisbon Fire Department and the local community to break ground at the new Lisbon fire station. The new fire station will not only strengthen the town of Lisbon but will be beneficial to surrounding towns that rely on Lisbon Fire Department for mutual aid as well. I am a very big supporter of our volunteers and all first responders. I am happy  it all came together for our first responders who work tirelessly protecting us all.

I want to…

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in the Read Across America program once again at the Voluntown Elementary School on Wednesday morning! Having an opportunity to interact with the young people in our district is one of the best parts of this job! Students from kindergarten, first, & second grades joined me and enjoyed “Yertle the Turtle” from Dr. Suess. After the reading, the children asked me a few questions and they enthusiastically told me what they wanted to do when they grew…

Recently, I had the opportunity to testify in front of the Banking Committee on H.B. No. 5207, An Act Concerning the Setting of First Payment Due Dates Under the Ezequiel Santiago Foreclosure Mediation Program, a bill I introduced during this session.

The bill is aimed to help protect homeowners that have recently restructured their loan agreement or have a repayment plan. It would require that the first payment due date would be no sooner than fifteen business days after the agreement’s finalization.…

A very concerning concept being raised in the Children’s Committee Public Hearing on Thursday, February 16th.

The intent would be to hold parents/guardians of homeschooled children to a higher DCF “abuse and neglect” investigation standard than those who don’t homeschool.

I find this to be completely unacceptable. I will keep you informed on any developments concerning this legislation.

For me however, things were a bit different as I was unable to attend in person due to a recent diagnosis of COVID-19.

I am anxious to get back to the building and…
