PROUDLY SERVING THE 34TH DISTRICT
State Senator Paul Cicarella
Senior Deputy Republican Leader
Paul Cicarella, elected in 2020, represents Connecticut’s 34th District. He is named the leading Republican on the legislature’s General Law and Public Safety and Security Committees, and returns on the Regulations Review, Veterans and Military Affairs, and Judiciary Committees. He also serves on the legislature’s newly formed Government Oversight Committee and the Joint Committee on Legislative Management.
Paul is a small business owner, retired corrections officer and youth sports coach with a record of championing important initiatives focused on families, law enforcement, safety and security.
“I will continue to advocate for commonsense solutions to address affordability, restore public safety, and tackle other quality-of-life issues for our seniors and Veterans of the 34th District.”
This Friday, October 9, DCP will be hosting a Ratio Relief Seminar to help employers and members of the trades better understand the new ratio relief process and how it can help create more apprenticeship opportunities.
The seminar begins at 1:00 PM and is available both in person in Hartford and virtually through Microsoft Teams.
I worked hard to bring people on both sides of the aisle together and find a commonsense solution. Now, I want to make sure businesses and tradespeople know how to take advantage of it.
In Person:
450 Columbus Boulevard, Hartford
Plaza North, Room C/D
Parking:
Street parking is available, as well as the Morgan Street Parking Garage on the corner. Please allow extra time to park and check in with security before the seminar.

Good policy starts with listening to the people doing the job!
Today I joined police officers from across Connecticut at the Connecticut Police Summit for an important conversation about public safety, the challenges officers are facing, and how decisions made in Hartford impact them.
These conversations matter. Hearing directly from law enforcement helps us better understand what’s working, what needs to change, and how we can work together to keep our communities safe.
Thank you to the Police Officers Association of Connecticut (POACT) for bringing officers and lawmakers together and making sure their voices are heard.
Yesterday, legislators from both sides of the aisle met directly with Amazon to raise the concerns we have been hearing from our constituents and ask questions about the proposal. There are still questions that need to be answered, but one positive takeaway from that conversation is that residents will have additional opportunities to be heard.
Amazon has committed to holding a public forum, with details still to be determined, where residents will have an opportunity to ask questions and voice their concerns directly. DEEP has also extended its public-comment period through October 15.
We are actively working on this, meeting with the agencies and parties involved, asking questions and making sure the concerns you bring to us are brought directly to the table.
I will continue to keep you updated as we learn more, including when the public forum is scheduled.
In the meantime, please continue to make your voice heard. Written comments can be submitted to DEEP through October 15 at: DEEP.FCC.PublicComments@ct.gov
