Klarides-Ditria urges end to Lamont's emergency powers

When the Connecticut House of Representatives meets Monday,  it will be in a special session to vote on a seventh extension of the Governor's emergency powers, this time at least until February. The Governor insists that Connecticut's public health and civil preparedness emergency declarations must be extended.  However, our neighbors in Massachusetts have still managed COVID effectively in their schools and workplaces, even though Gov. Charlie Baker ended his state's emergency declarations months ago. Meanwhile, the true emergency facing Connecticut - the erosion of our public safety in the face of rising violent crime and a wave of juvenile car thefts - has gone unaddressed, largely thanks to Democratic inaction in the legislature. If you agree with me that this emergency can no longer be ignored, visit www.StopCarThefts.com and write a message to those lawmakers still on the fence about protecting your safety. Take Action Now Joint Statement from Republican Leadership You can also call the majority in Hartford and let them know how you feel about the extension of the Governor's executive powers using the numbers below. Sincerely,
