WILTON- On January 25th, Wilton State Reps. Gail Lavielle and Tom O’Dea co-hosted a “Coffee with your Legislators” event at Orem’s Diner in Wilton.

During the meet and greet with early morning diners Reps. Lavielle and O’Dea listened to Wilton residents who shared their concerns on a variety of issues. The issues discussed included the burdens Governor Malloy has put on businesses passed last few year. They also discussed ways to boost school security. People also expressed concern over the millions of dollars spent on state employee benefits, the underfunding of the teachers’ retirement fund, firearm laws and a proposal to re-institute tolls in the state.

Rep. Tom O’Dea said, “We are approaching the busiest time of the legislative session and meetings like this are important as we prepare our votes on key issues. This morning’s discussion was excellent and very informative. From gun and school safety to economic development to taxes, we covered a number of key topics and got a lot of thoughtful ideas.”

“We always appreciate when people take the time to share their thoughts and concerns with us. Folks in our district are concerned about our state’s economy and about prospects for themselves and their families in terms of jobs, education, and retirement. As the legislative session moves forward, I hope that we will be able to work together as a General Assembly to make progress in improving the state’s financial condition, which is essential for addressing their concerns,” said Rep. Gail Lavielle.

Constituents were happy and grateful that Reps. Lavielle and O’Dea were there to listen to what was on their minds and get the latest update from the Capitol.
