  • Journal of the House 07/14/2021
    JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Wednesday, July 14, 2021 On Wednesday, the 14th day of July, 2021, in accordance with the Call of the Governor, the House of Representatives convened in the House Chamber in the State Capitol at Hartford at 9:30 o'clock a.m., in Special Session. The House was called to order, Speaker Matthew Ritter in the Chair. Prayer was offered by House Chaplain, Reverend Erica A. Thompson of West Hartford, Connecticut. The following is the prayer: Let us pray. Creator of fresh summer rain and glorious bursts of sunshine, of rhythms both new and ancient, of community pools and state beaches and lush hiking paths, of local farms and city parades and children's camps - we give you thanks this morning! For the myriad of ways we see, hear, feel and experience You - showing up and showing out in the world around us - we give thanks! Be with these faithful servants, gathered here in this place - and those who are connected virtually - give to each the clarity and wisdom needed to have positive dialogue, and then to make good and sound decisions on behalf of all of us in the great State of Connecticut. Creator of us all, we implore Your spirit today, tomorrow and in all the days to come. In Your imaginative name and power, we pray. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative O'Dea of the 125th District. The reading of the Call of the Session was waived, and the Speaker ordered that the Call be printed in the Journal.

    RETIRED MEN'S ASSOCIATION OF GREENWICH, Inc. (RMA) Invites you to a presentation on Webinar, Jan 13, at 11:00 a.m. To view the Webinar, log on to: https://bit.ly/30IBj21 Matthew Ritter Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives "Legislating During COVID" Connecticut’s newly elected House speaker, Matt Ritter, acknowledges his first year as leader of the chamber will be like no other. The State Capitol remains closed to the public, pushing hearings and most other business online. Speaker Ritter will discuss how he will meet the legislative challenges posed by the pandemic and the agenda for the 2021 session. Responsible for when the House meets and what legislation it considers, speaker Ritter has asked committee leadership to prioritize issues and only bring forward bills that demand the legislature's attention – like the state budget. There will still be public hearings and debate…just on fewer issues. Ritter is a political prodigy, elected to the Hartford City Council at age 25, the House at 28 and as its majority leader at 34. His father, Thomas D. Ritter, was the House speaker from 1993 to 1999. His mother is Justice Christine E. Keller of the state Supreme Court. A lifelong Hartford resident, Rep. Ritter was first elected in 2010 to the Connecticut General Assembly where he represents the 1st Assembly District in Hartford. Matt served two terms as House Majority Leader and two years as the Co-Chair of the Public Health Committee where he worked to address the opioid crisis, increase hospital fee transparency, and require that more mental health services be covered by the private insurance market.

Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader McCarthy, and Minority Leader Schumer: As elected officials from many states and cities, we commend you on your leadership in providing relief to millions of workers impacted by the COVID-19 public health emergency. While in our home jurisdictions, we are doing everything we can to help vulnerable workers, the scope of the emergency exceeds our ability to provide comprehensive relief. So, we are pleased that discussions have begun on the next phase of legislation and are writing to ask that you protect property service workers who are keeping the nation moving in this time of crisis. Property service workers have been declared to be essential in numerous state and city “stay-at- home” and “shelter-in-place” orders, and for good reason. The duties of property service workers (building cleaners, security officers, residential service workers, contracted airport service workers, cafeteria workers, and parking workers and others) are critically important so that the public can stay healthy and our buildings and facilities can stay safe for the duration of the crisis. Essential property service workers cannot weather periods of time without work, but at the same time, neither can we continue to allow them to face the risks associated with continuing to do their work during a pandemic without proper protection and compensation.
