On Thursday morning, Greenwich’s delegation to Hartford State Representative-elect Kimberly Fiorello (R-149), and State Reps. Stephen Meskers (D-150) and Harry Arora (R-151), as well as First Selectman Fred Camillo, gathered virtually for the annual Greenwich United Way Legislative Breakfast to discuss topics related to the state and local level. State Sen. Alex Kasser (D-36) could not attend because of a scheduling conflict.
The COVID-19 pandemic dominated the hour-long dialogue, as it’s the most pressing issue. The delegation agreed that containing the virus is priority number one heading into the next legislative session.
“We’re in a crisis,” said Arora, who would like to see increased testing among the population. “I’m not going to say anything other than the fact that the first thing is to contain COVID. No COVID containment, no policy relevance.”
