This is a law and not a political blog.

I try to avoid the subject of politics in this blog but this is too important.

This blog is about how the laws of the State of Connecticut impact you.

Our laws impact our lives in ways big and small. Laws matter.

And the race for Connecticut’s 7th Senatorial matters.

More to the point, electing George Colli to the State Senate matters.

George Colli understands the direct connection between land use laws and business growth.

Which is why George strongly supports investment in light rail for North Central Connecticut. Light rail would connect Springfield and Bradley Airport with Hartford. 

George knows that light rail would encourage mixed use development around train stations providing a sorely needed boost to Thompsonville and Windsor Locks.

George knows how light rail has changed cities like Worcester for the better.  

Simply put, Hartford needs to be better connected to Boston and New York if Connecticut wants to grow its economy.

The idea of taking light rail to work is foreign to most Connecticut residents who don’t live in Fairfield County and it shouldn’t be. Light rail better for the environment than cars, better for our State’s economy, and better for the economic health of towns in North Central Connecticut.

We need someone for Connecticut’s 7th Senatorial seat that understands this. George Colli is that man.

George has experience in both running a small business and in real estate. He has the energy to fight for investment in light rail for North Central Connecticut and the talent to get it done. Don’t let this train pass you by.

Join me in voting for George Colli on November 4th.
