Bill 5393 would create a CT Transportation Authority.
The Authority would build, maintain and operate electronic tolling systems on CT highways.
Translation?
Bill 5393 abdicates the legislature’s responsibility to unaccountable, unelected, faceless state government bureaucrats.a
CT tolls could be everywhere if this bill passes….

A measure to protect funding for the Meals on Wheels program gets a public hearing today.
Meals on Wheels is a non-profit, volunteer-based service that delivers nutritious meals to people who are elderly or disabled, homebound, and unable to prepare their own meals.

The Honorable Daniel F. Caruso

Fairfield Sen. Tony Hwang issued the following statement on the passing of Daniel F. Caruso, Fairfield’s longtime probate judge:
“Judge Caruso was a man of deep faith, a devoted public servant and a friend to many. To me, he was a mentor and a role model. He dedicated himself to improving the lives of Fairfield residents and the lives of people across Connecticut. His sudden loss is heartbreaking, and we join together in sending our condolences to his family. I know Judge Caruso’s legacy will live on as we remember his commitment to community, his kindness, and his tireless efforts to help others.”

State Senator Tony Hwang (R-Fairfield) was one of the driving forces behind the new tougher laws.
He explained that while it’s difficult to count or even estimate the cost to cities for extra police protection out front of the schools and extra detectives to handle the investigations, it is equally hard to measure the psychological cost it takes on the school system.
“It has such dramatic and traumatic effect on our kids, on our teachers, and our parents who send their loved ones…With a rash of recent threats, I think we are far too easy in the application of this law,” Sen. Hwang said.

Higher taxes are NOT the answer.
New taxes are NOT the answer.
A public hearing will be held on Friday to allow fed up taxpayers to speak out against those tax hikes.
