Congratulations to Fairfield Troop 82’s newest Eagle Scouts, George O’Neill, and brothers Arthur and Augustine Zarra.
It was a privilege to present each of them with a citation from the Connecticut General Assembly at their Eagle Scout Court of Honor and celebrate their dedication, leadership, and service to our community.
Thank you to their families, Scout leaders, and mentors who helped guide them on this journey. Wishing these outstanding young men continued success in all that lies ahead.

Southport Harbor’s annual Blessing of the Fleet is a wonderful community tradition for children, families, and neighbors to enjoy together along one of Connecticut’s most historic waterfronts.
This special event celebrates our maritime heritage, remembers those lost at sea, and offers blessings for safe passage on Long Island Sound. Thank you to all who helped make the day welcoming, meaningful, and fun for families, from the harbor procession to the festivities at the Pequot Library.

This morning outside Fairfield Town Hall, I called for a pause and thoughtful revisions to Fairfield’s automated traffic enforcement program.
I support speed and red-light cameras as tools to improve roadway safety, especially in school zones. But with nearly 190,000 projected violations in one month and an estimated $3.2 million in monthly fines, it is clear we need stronger public education, better signage, and greater transparency.
This program must be about safety, not revenue. Any funds generated should go toward roadway safety improvements, awareness, signage, and education.
I want this program to succeed, but success depends on public trust. We need to pause, listen, learn from the data, and make adjustments that preserve the purpose of this important safety initiative.
