Lawmakers To Host Newtown Senior Legislative Update
State Representatives Mitch Bolinsky (R-106), Marty Foncello (R-107), and State Senator Tony Hwang (R-28) are inviting Newtown residents to a senior legislative update on Thursday, August 1.
The update will be in the Community Building at Nunnawauk Meadows, 3 Nunnawauk Road, from 2 to 4 pm.
The conversation will cover the major topics from the 2024 legislative session and acts of particular interest for senior citizens.
The legislators will discuss their efforts to transform at-home senior living in Connecticut, and improve nursing home care, and maintain the fiscal safeguards that kept stabilized state taxes.
The non-partisan Office of Legislative Research produces reports at the end of each legislative session outlining major topics. “Acts Affecting Seniors” can be accessed online at cga.ct.gov/olr.
Didn’t they just do this…from the past Bee. State Senator Tony Hwang and State Representative Mitch Bolinsky hosted a Legislative Community Update on Saturday, June 15, at Newtown Senior Center. I guess its a great Photo op, after all the lection season is upon us. Is the Bee promoting or being used?
There’s a difference between the two events. The June 15 event, if you continue reading the next sentence in the article you’ve refenced, “The event served as an opportunity for residents to ask questions about the state legislature’s past session and discuss legislative priorities, achievements, and new laws with their elected representatives.” While it was held at the senior center, it was a general overview of the latest session.
This week’s event, according to the press release above, “will cover the major topics from the 2024 legislative session and acts of particular interest for senior citizens.” This week’s event will also include State Representative Marty Foncello, who was not at the June presentation.
