“The people of Connecticut want common sense, a fair deal, and their state government to work for them. They know what is best for their families and them. My goal is to take this message to the Capitol for you, working to deliver solutions that make your lives better.”
I’m wrapping up my in-person office hours on April 18. Thank you to everyone who has joined me so far, and stay tuned for future dates!
Join me in Eastford at Always Moore Coffee with State Representative Pat Boyd, and in Willington at the Public Library.
These office hours are a great opportunity to share your thoughts, ask questions, and discuss state issues. I hope to see you there!
Connecticut residents are still dealing with some of the highest utility costs in the country, and I remain committed and active to lowering them.
I sent a follow-up letter requesting a full audit of PURA’s pandemic moratorium program to determine how it was handled and whether ratepayers were unfairly burdened. Previously, despite my meeting with the former Chair, I received no information.
I will continue pushing for transparency and clear accounting of the Public Benefits Tax which was put in place unilaterally by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (and extended at the request of the Energy & Technology Committee Chairs).
We owe it to ratepayers to ensure fairness and restore trust in the process.
