In one of the last days of this recess session, today I attended an event with the Denison Poequotsepos Nature Center to highlight the preservation of the Nature and Heritage Center at Coogan Farm; I met with the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association to discuss programs that allow law enforcement to purchase military hardware, and how that equipment is used; I attended a forum hosted by the CT Rail Commuters in which Waterbury Line commuters voiced their concerns about Metro-North; and I met with the Lyme Research Alliance to see how I could further support their work. Yesterday, I had a conversation with students at UConn about the cost of a college education, and the Senates upcoming vote on student loan refinancing. In all of these meetings and events, I am always thinking about how I can bring the voice of my constituents in Connecticut back to DC. When I return next week, we will surely discuss the events in Ferguson and I will have the voice of the CT Police Chiefs as I take action in the Senate. As we discuss transportation funding, I’ll remember those commuters on the Waterbury Line. When I vote on student loan refinancing I will have all the faces of those UConn students on my mind. Your voice is important, and my time in Connecticut is invaluable. Thank you. -RB
