FEATURED STORY
Tolland Legislative Delegation Issues Response to Judicial Branch Decision Regarding Juvenile Detention Facility
TOLLAND – State Representative Tammy Nuccio, State Representative Tim Ackert, State Senator Jeff Gordon, and Tolland Town Manager Brian Foley issued the following response welcoming the decision by the Connecticut Judicial Branch to pursue an alternative location outside of Tolland for its proposed juvenile detention facility.
“This is a major win for the residents of Tolland,” the delegation said in a joint statement. “From the moment this proposal came to light, our focus has been clear: ensuring the voices and concerns of our community were heard and respected.”
“The people of Connecticut want common sense, a fair deal, and their state government to work for them. They know what is best for their families and them. My goal is to take this message to the Capitol for you, working to deliver solutions that make your lives better.”
Today is National Doctors Day! Thank you to all doctors for helping the sick, keeping people healthy, and being a source of extraordinary caring. As a physician for 33 years and as a Past President of the CT State Medical Society, I know first hand and appreciate what doctors do. As a “Doctor State Senator” in CT, I’m proud to be an advocate for health care, health care professionals, and health care workers across the senate district and state.
