Show up, speak up, and make sure Hartford hears from the people of Connecticut!
Today, I joined municipal leaders Denise Raap, First Selectperson of Litchfield, and Greg LaCava, First Selectman of Warren, to testify before the Education Committee in support of H.B. 5323. This legislation requires the Auditors of Public Accounts to conduct an audit of the financial operations of the dissolved regional boards of education for the former Region 6 School District and the Town of Litchfield.
Thank you to all who submitted testimony and spoke out in favor of this legislation to support our local communities!
