A historic day in Waterbury.

With the launch of the @uconnhealth Community Network and Waterbury HEALTH joining the partnership, we’re strengthening access to care and investing in the health and future of the Waterbury community. 🏥🤝

Thank you to @CTComptroller, Sen. Joan Hartley, @RonNapoliJr, and Joe McGrath for joining today’s small business roundtable at Waterbury City Hall. Grateful to local business owners for sharing insights during National Women's Small Business Month!

After several years of planning, I'm excited to announce that construction has officially started on the redevelopment of the Waterbury Train Station. This is a central component of our overall plan to modernize all six stations along the Waterbury Branch Line.

Across Connecticut, we’re investing where it matters most: in the places people call home. Today in Waterbury, a $4M state grant from the Community Investment Fund is renewing West Main Street’s infrastructure and building a stronger city.

Our nation’s service members put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms and liberties that make this country the greatest in the world, and we honor and pay tribute to all of the fallen heroes.

UPDATE: @CTDCF says it has now located records of the #Waterbury man at the center of a 20-yr captivity case

Initial search yielded no results, but DCF's archived Closed Records system did find records, which are being shared with @WaterburyPD and the Office of Child Advocate

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Sláinte! 🍀

Buddy Altobello was a charismatic man who loved having the opportunity to represent his hometown of Meriden at the State Capitol. I will miss his witty sense of humor and the many stories he told. My condolences are with his family and friends.

But don’t forget what we’ve also achieved:

✅The middle-class income tax cut — largest in state history — we did together, and
✅Eliminating the income tax for working families, along with
✅The elimination of tax on pensions and Social Security for most of our citizens.

[Rep. Ron Napoli Jr. @RonNapoliJr]

These insurance rate hikes are absolutely unacceptable. My parents, both in their 70s, have been paying their premiums their entire lives. Now that they’re on a fixed income, insurance companies are raising rates, forcing them to consider dropping their coverage. #Shameful

An important story in continuing investigation into elder care in Connecticut - the skyrocketing cost of long term care insurance and the elderly residents caught between paying as much as 170 percent increases in policies as they reach age they need it. https://t.co/bXgoPNdAKR

Thank you Mr. Secretary. You made our state proud. @SecCardona @teachcardona

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Today I am signing off as the Secretary of Education, my dream job.

What I used to tell my students on the last day of school is that this isn’t goodbye, but rather a celebration of our time together.

This is the same, here are some things I’m celebrating today. 🧵1/6

It’s kind of crazy that all the best pizza places in the country are located within the red oval.

[Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown]

For decades I have fought to ensure that public servants get the full Social Security they have earned.

Tonight, we passed the Social Security Fairness Act and finally got it done.

This is what it means to fight for the Dignity of Work.

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Teachers, you are the glue that keeps our communities together and if you haven’t heard it yet today; thank you for all that you do.
