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.”
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

Connecticut families are paying enough at the pump.
Yesterday I met with WFSB - Channel 3 Eyewitness News to talk about how the state can suspend the 25-cent gas tax now and provide immediate relief to drivers.
There’s no reason to wait. We have the ability to act today, and I’ll continue pushing for relief for Connecticut taxpayers.
We can easily do it now and should not put politics before people.
CT gas tax suspension push stalls as Lamont presses for funding plan

State Republicans are pushing to suspend the state’s 25-cent gas tax through the end of the year, but they need Gov. Ned Lamont to call an immediate special session.
I want to clarify where things stand with Amazon’s proposed drone delivery operation in North Haven.
While it’s been reported Amazon has agreed to a temporary pause, the state regulatory review and public-comment process are continuing.
The FAA completed its environmental review on July 28 and found no significant environmental impact. Connecticut is now conducting its own review under the state’s coastal management requirements, with public comments being accepted through October 15.
I will be meeting with Amazon on October 5 to discuss the proposal and the concerns I have heard from residents and local officials.
Most importantly, this process is not over. Residents still have an opportunity to make their voices heard, and I encourage anyone with questions or concerns to submit written comments to the state.
My priority is making sure our communities are heard and that the appropriate state and federal reviews are completed before any final decision are made.
