PITTSFIELD, Mass. Mayor Linda Tyer on Monday outlined a historically difficult year in the city of Pittsfield, as with the rest of the world, in her annual state of the city address. It s hard to believe that next month marks one year of dealing with this global public health crisis, she said. In looking back at the past year, it is easy to become fixated on all of the things that we have done to mitigate COVID-19. Our attention and energy were focused, and rightly so, on doing all that we could to keep our community safe. Circumstances are constantly evolving. It requires us to monitor, assess, and adjust. We are still very much in the midst of protecting ourselves and each other while at the same time, finding ways to sustain our economy, keep people employed, and reopen our schools.

The coronavirus pandemic, which abruptly canceled the 2020 session of the General Assembly, will continue to cast a shadow over the legislature’s new Zoom era. And this year, dozens of bills have been filed to shape Connecticut’s reaction to the crisis.
The new measures range from economic aid to public health initiatives to the future of mail-in voting and the extension of the governor’s emergency powers, which expire on Feb. 9. It’s all happening as lawmakers and citizens try to manage public discourse from homes and offices far from the State Capitol complex in Hartford.
