Open Letter to Governor Lamont

GHIAA sent an open letter to Gov. Lamont this week, urging him to act with urgency to protect vulnerable CT residents from the harm of federal cuts. Of the $500M set aside by the legislature last fall, over 60% remains unspent. Yesterday, leadership announced a plan to carry forward the balance of the fund for use this spring. Let’s keep up the pressure!
