Ned Lamont: “Wall Street is clearly recognizing the hard work Connecticut has done to put our fiscal house in order.”

Elvin Hernandez was a dedicated state employee and public servant, and I join his family, friends, and colleagues at the Connecticut Department of Transportation in mourning his passing.

Maybe if it’s Gordon Gekko or some Wall Street titan, yeah, I think they should contribute to the cost of their incarceration. But I think for the other 90% of people, I want to make sure when they’ve served their time, they get back out…

I am directing flags to be flown at half-staff to honor Elvin’s life and selfless commitment to his community.

This cemetery provides an invaluable resource in honoring the lives and service of our military veterans and their families, and it is important that we continue to see that this option remains available to them for decades into the future.
