Tax-Free Week is back! From August 17–23, clothing and footwear under $100 will be exempt from sales tax. Perfect for back-to-school shopping and supporting local businesses. Thank you, Governor Lamont!
I’m honored to receive the Friend of Early Childhood Award from the Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance for my work advocating for early childhood education and childcare access.
A heartfelt thank you to the Early Childhood Development Center for hosting, and to the amazing students who helped present the award: Eleanor Malak, Beckett Steirer, and Milani, granddaughter of Mayor Ken and JoMarie Nelson (not pictured). Your energy and smiles made the day even more special. 💙👶📚

Joined Office of Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz, First Selectman Scott Storms, Community Advocate Selectman Jonathan Savino, State Representative Tami Zawistowski, and State Representative Jane Garibay yesterday in Windsor Locks to highlight a $4 million state grant that will help remediate and redevelop 255 Main Street.
This investment moves Windsor Locks one step closer to realizing a new train station and bringing meaningful transit-oriented development to the heart of town.
