Statement From Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney on Facebook Comments Directed at State Senator George Logan

Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) today released the following statement regarding comments posted on Facebook directed at State Senator George Logan (R-Ansonia).

“In this era of heightened political insensitivity, there is no place at the national or local level to use race, religion sexual orientation or economic status as a barometer of an individual’s worth,” said Senator Looney. “These types of statements directed at Senator Logan are just wrong—regardless of party—and do not belong in our public discourse.”
