Statement from Connecticut Senate Republican Leader Kevin Kelly on the passing of State Auditor Rob Kane:

“Our hearts are filled with grief.  Rob Kane was a champion for the people of Connecticut. As a state senator, he served the people of the 32nd District with skill, style and compassion. Rob loved Connecticut, he loved public service, and he took great pride in helping people in need.  He also loved his family and his children very much. We in the state senate were proud to call him our friend and colleague.  We will miss his smile, his laugh, and his positive presence at the State Capitol. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rob’s family during this incredibly painful time.”
