Sen. Kissel Thanks Suffield Residents For Attending Sidewalk Event

I want to thank all of the area residents who stopped to chat during my Sept. 27 "senator on your sidewalk" event outside the Suffield CVS pharmacy. 

You raised many issues and concerns which I will take to Hartford. The common theme was that you feel you are overtaxed and that state government needs to cut back on its wasteful spending. 

I agree wholeheartedly.

If we are to create a pro-business environment here in Connecticut and start to grow jobs again, we need to lower our tax and regulatory burdens and we need to reduce the size and scope of state government. That's exactly what I will continue to fight for.

Many thanks to the management and staff at CVS for allowing this senator to stand on their sidewalk on a Tuesday afternoon. Meeting with Suffield residents face-to-face and hearing your concerns makes me a more informed legislator and helps me to better serve you at the State Capitol.

I look forward to future successful "sidewalk" events in Suffield and throughout north-central Connecticut.  o those who were unable to stop by on Tuesday, please feel free to contact me at John.A.Kissel@cga.ct.gov or 860-240-0531 with any thoughts you have.

Sincerely,

State Senator John A. Kissel

Kissel represents 7th Senate District towns including East Granby, Enfield, Somers, Suffield, Windsor Locks and portions of Granby and Windsor.
