FAIRFIELD This is what it looks like when a community says thank you. Hundreds of people, spread out around the youth baseball field tucked in the back of the Richard McGee Athletic Complex, breaking out into spontaneous applause as they watch Rocky Buck catch his first glimpse of the new sign with his name and face on it. The sign announcing the ballfield’s new name.
“Welcome to Rocky Buck Field,” it reads.

Lawmakers violate Legislature’s COVID-19 prevention policies
A group of Republican legislators without masks is shown on a recent Facebook Live video in clear violation of the State House policy for face coverings.
Some Republican state lawmakers have violated a policy on mask wearing in the State House that was approved by legislative leaders from both parties to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Rep. Shelley Rudnicki, R-Fairfield, posted a Facebook Live video on Jan. 5 that features short interviews with five other Republican legislators inside the State House, apparently in the offices of the Republican minority caucus on the building’s third floor. The video shows at least seven lawmakers – all Republicans – and none are complying with the policy on face coverings set in December by the Legislative Council, which includes the Legislature’s presiding officers and the minority and majority leaders and assistants for both parties.
