FEATURED STORY
Sen. Gordon Votes No on Appropriations Budget Over Lack of Needed Education Funding
HARTFORD, CT – State Senator Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock) voted “NO” on the Appropriations Committee’s proposed budget because it fails to meaningfully increase funding for the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant, a critical source of state support for K-12 public education in the 35th District and across Connecticut. He also voted “NO” because the proposed budget is not balanced, was not fully vetted with the state’s revenue estimates, and misses key priorities like education funding support for our towns.
“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.”
Great news for Coventry!
I am thrilled that the Town of Coventry has been awarded a $2 million Community Development Block Grant to modernize Orchard Hill Estates and improve housing for residents.
I want to thank the Town of Coventry and everyone involved for their hard work and dedication in preparing and submitting this successful grant application.
This funding will support critical infrastructure upgrades, including improved parking and ADA accessibility, updated water systems, new heat pumps, enhanced security, better lighting, drainage improvements, and other much-needed renovations that will improve quality of life for residents.
Investing in safe, affordable, and accessible housing strengthens our community and helps ensure that Coventry remains a great place to live for residents of all ages. I look forward to seeing these important improvements move forward.
I enjoyed visiting Sand Meadow Farm in Ellington, a local farm that raises livestock and produces high-quality meat products. It was great, once again, to see firsthand the dedication and hard work that goes into sustaining our agricultural community. The farm is also home to an award-winning steer recognized at The Big E!
We had a great conversation about the challenges farmers are facing, including affordability, job security, and concerns about commercial solar development encroaching on farmland.
I have a long track record of supporting agriculture and family farms. I’m proud to continue this work as a State Senator throughout the 35th District, and I will continue working to protect this important part of Connecticut.
Stop by their farm store at 92 Frog Hollow Road in Ellington to find great local food options. It’s worth the trip!
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers, stepfathers, fathers-in-law, grandfathers, and father figures in all our lives. May you enjoy the day with family!
I’m proud to have the life experience being a dad. It was incredible to welcome with my wife my son into the world, help and watch him grow, and now see him be the incredible young adult he has become.
