FEATURED STORY
Senator Gordon Launches Petition Urging Careful Review of Proposed Eversource Rate Increase
State Senator Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock) today announced the launch of a public petition urging the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) to carefully scrutinize Eversource’s anticipated electric rate increase request and reject any additional burden on ratepayers.
“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.”
School is just around the corner, and I'm proud to have supported a new law that helps make back-to-school shopping a little more affordable for Connecticut families. ✏️
As of July 1, Connecticut's 6.35% sales tax has been eliminated on many nonelectronic school supplies, including notebooks, pencils, crayons, folders, glue, scissors, lunch boxes, and more.
With the cost of living continuing to rise, every dollar counts. This tax relief is one way I’m proud to help families and teachers save money while ensuring students have the supplies they need for a successful school year.
While there's still more work to do, I'm proud to support commonsense policies that put money back in the pockets of Connecticut families.
Congratulations to the new Trooper Trainees joining Connecticut State Police - Troop C Tolland (TPR DiNardi, TPR Mieras, and TPR Topulos) and CT State Police Troop D Danielson (TPR Regine, TPR Rybacki, and TPR Stimson)! They graduated as members of the 138th Training Troop at the Connecticut State Police Academy.
I wish them all the best as they begin their field training program. Be safe!
The 35th State Senate District is served by Troops C and D, and most towns in the district do not have their own police departments. I’m proud to serve on the Public Safety & Security Committee. We’ve accomplished meaningful work, including major public safety legislation this year, but there’s more to do. I look forward to continuing that work.
I’m proud to strongly support the men and women of law enforcement and public safety who serve our families, our communities, and all of us day and night. You’re appreciated! Thank you for all that you do.
It was so great to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Roseland Park & Golf Course in Woodstock with such a great community turnout! I was proud to present a State Citation recognizing this historic milestone.
I always enjoy my visits to Roseland Park. I learned more firsthand about the work being done to rejuvenate the park and the plans to do even more so that people in Woodstock and northeast CT can enjoy the park for many more years.
The cheeseburger eating contest, Touch a Truck, and the music were crowd favorites. I enjoyed sharing lemonade with the Girl Scouts and talking with local organizations. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying this special day. Thank you to the many people who took the time to chat with me. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this event such a success!
