Glad to join you today, Comptroller! CT Health Horizons is truly a best practice and it was great to see some of the early data proving its success. We're excited to see its future impact and look forward to the next meeting!

Happy Labor Day! Last friday, we honored the next generation of skilled trade professionals with certification through the CareerConnectCT program. Everyone deserves a good paying job and I want to make sure that our residents are getting the skills they need to land these jobs.
