“I always enjoy engaging with constituents and talking about their ideas to better Connecticut,” said Sen. Witkos. “This meeting was a great opportunity to listen to people’s concerns, discuss how new laws will impact our community, and talk about our legislative priorities. I thank the Colebrook Senior Center for hosting such a successful educational event.”

“As a representative of the people of Northwest Connecticut, this town hall-style meeting in Colebrook was an opportunity to gather ideas and concerns, and bring them back to Hartford,” Rep.
