Sen. Markley and Rep. Sampson talk Taxes and Trump in Waterbury

Wolcott- Over 35 people packed Verona’s Pizza in Waterbury to attend state Senator Joe Markley (R-Southington) and state Representative Rob Sampson’s (R-Wolcott) “Pizza and Policy” gathering on Wednesday July 27th.

The legislators interacted with their constituents and fielded questions on issues ranging from the state budget to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

“I was blown away by how many people came out for the first ‘Pizza and Policy’ event. I would like to think they all came to see me, but I have a feeling Verona’s pizza had something to do with it too,” said Senator Markley. “The sense I got from the meeting was that people are anxious and upset. People are anxious about taxes, anxious about the growth of government, and above all, angry that politicians and bureaucrats are no longer accountable to the public they serve. I understand because these are my concerns too.”
