HARTFORD – Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) today issued the following statement in response to Governor Lamont’s announcement that Connecticut has formally joined the Northeast Public Health Collaborative alongside several other Northeastern states and New York City.
“Earlier, we called on Governor Lamont for Connecticut to join our neighboring states in a regional public health partnership modeled after the West Coast effort, because we know that pathogens don’t stop at state lines. With misinformation and political gamesmanship coming out of Republican-controlled Washington, we can’t count on the federal government to defend science and accurate public health information. That’s why states must work together. We’re glad to see Connecticut embracing this approach and moving forward with our neighbors to protect the health and safety of every resident.”
