Dr. Martin Luther King believed in hope. But he emphasized that hope is not passive; hope demands action. We remember Dr. King today, and we pledge on this day to continue to work steadfastly to advance economic justice in Connecticut with his example as our inspiration. #MLKDay

What an impressive group of students at @MiddletownHigh! This morning, @LGSusanB and I spoke to a group of @MiddletownDECA and FFA members about the lifelong benefits of strong personal finance skills, and some things we wish we knew about money when we were in high school.

Joined my alma mater, @UNewHaven, as part of the Power On series. As the 1st in my family to go to college, the obstacles facing first-gen students parallel the big picture struggles across CT. We all benefit when everyone has resources & opportunities to fully participate.

Thank you to the @unitedwaycwc for inviting me to speak at this year’s Impact Breakfast. Grateful for all the United Way does to help our neighbors connect with critical services. It’s our shared goal to get everyone in CT participating fully in our economy.

In the last Fiscal Year, CT’s pension funds generated returns of 11.5% and grew by $6.7B. We measure success over the long-term, not by individual year, but we continue to move in the right direction, at great benefit to taxpayers and pensioners. portal.ct.gov/ott/newsroom/n…

This progress is owed to a host of reforms aimed at better allocating assets and building our investment team of experts. It’s also owed to a unified commitment within state govt, led by @GovNedLamont, who joined me at today’s announcement, to strengthen our pension funds.
