Senator Gaston Releases Statement on CT Siting Council Decision to Reject Monopoles

Today, state Senator Herron Keyon Gaston (D-Bridgeport), is releasing a statement following the CT Siting Council’s decision to reject Monopoles.

“The decision to reject the UI Monopole plan is a victory for our community.

“From day one, I was relentless in standing against this flawed proposal because my constituents deserved better. I have never been afraid to make good trouble when justice and fairness are on the line. I fought this plan because it failed to respect the voices of our neighborhoods, threatened our environment, and ignored the long-term wellbeing of our communities.

“This outcome proves that when we organize, when we raise our voices, and when we stand our ground, we can make a difference.

“I’m deeply grateful to the advocates, community leaders, and residents who stood strong and united throughout this process.”
