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

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.

This is a tragic situation that never should have happened, and it is a stark reminder to all drivers about the critical importance of showing respect to all road maintenance workers and first responders while working on the roadside.

Connecticut chefs have been competing, winning, and getting noticed on national television for years, and now we’re giving people a way to experience that talent for themselves.
