@GovNedLamont We made sure his suit and tie were free of any stray hot sauce before coming to meet you at the press conference. (And having taken my burrito with me and having it for lunch, I can vouch for it being worthy of devouring at a ribbon cutting.)

Today we are putting federal infrastructure $ to work in Middletown, fixing one of the most dangerous merges in the state - Route 17 onto Route 9, in the process freeing up land for the Return to the Riverfront. Great to welcome @GovNedLamont for this exciting groundbreaking.

The BILT team joined @GovNedLamont, #CTDOT Commissioner @geucalitto, Middletown Mayor @bdflorsheim, and members of the Transportation Committee at the groundbreaking of the Route 17 on-ramp reconfiguration project. The #BIL is improving safety for drivers and pedestrians alike!

You know the on-ramp that connects Rte 17 to Rte 9 NB in Middletown? The one with the stop sign that requires drivers to stop and then accelerate onto the freeway. I’m headed there today to announce that we’re investing BIL funds to reconfigure it, remove the 🛑 and make it safer

America is caught in a downward spiral of aloneness. - social media addiction leads to less interest in in person extracurricular activity - less demand for formal and informal extracurricular activities leads to less supply - leading to more time for social media

If more Senators had teenagers we would be spending more time on combatting the overall rotting effect of social media on kids compared to the national security implications of one social media site.

My Chief of Staff & I were honored to help cut the jump rope (we don't cut ribbons!) to help open Middletown's new Rec Center. Incredible community space right next to Beman Middle School - a big thank you to ⁦@bdflorsheim⁩ & everyone in the City who made this possible.

Partnership between CT and @RIPMedicalDebt is an idea so brilliant I’m angry I didn’t think of it. Looking forward to hearing more about this from @GovNedLamont

Two-thirds of personal bankruptcies are caused by medical debt. The budget that I will present to the legislature next week includes a provision that has the potential to cancel billions in medical debt for thousands of Connecticut residents. MORE ➡️ portal.ct.gov/Office-of-the-…

Health care is a human right and no one should go into debt for seeing a doctor. I applaud @GovNedLamont for this bold proposal and urge the legislature to pass it so that we can lift this financial and emotional burden off of our residents. ctmirror.org/2023/02/02/ct-…

Took a tour of Middletown this afternoon with Mayor @bdflorsheim to see all the development projects that are being financed with American Rescue Plan funding. Part of our plan to come back stronger from the pandemic.
