FEATURED STORY
Sen. Gordon to Host Public Forum Addressing PA-490 Farmland Tax Increases in Connecticut
State Senator Jeff Gordon (R-Woodstock), along with his Republican colleagues, will be hosting a public forum with Connecticut farmers to discuss the steep farmland property tax hikes they are facing and potential solutions to the problem.
This forum will be held on Tuesday, January 20, at 11:00 a.m. in Room 1E of the Legislative Office Building.
“I continue to fight for affordability, for common sense, and for what is right. That is why I am legislative leader working with farmers to fix the state government’s huge mess it made in using a flawed land value analysis that skyrocketed taxes PA-490 land value assessments that farmers cannot afford,” said Sen. Gordon.
UPCOMING EVENTS

ECSU wasted taxpayer money by abusing their purchase cards and losing track of spending! 💰
Congratulations Eastern!
When a ProHealth Physicians office in Putnam abruptly closed, patients and staff were left with little to no notice, forcing many to scramble for new doctors, travel long distances for care, or face delays in critical prescriptions. Some were told it could take months to get a new appointment, or there was no timely way to refill needed medications. That’s simply unacceptable.
I formally requested that the Connecticut Department of Public Health review this situation and raised serious concerns about gaps in care, unfilled prescriptions, and the lack of a clear transition plan for patients who rely on ongoing medical treatment.
I will continue fighting for affordable, accessible health care across Connecticut by pushing for accountability, transparency, and patient-first policies. No one should be left without care because of sudden decisions by large health care systems.
Due to inclement weather, the Coventry Legislative with State Representative Tim Ackert will need to be postponed.
Be on the lookout for more information about upcoming legislative updates around the 35th district!
