Rosa DeLauro Hosts Luncheon for Municipal Leaders

Woodbridge First Selectman Ellen Scalettar and mayors and representatives from nearly 20 municipalities recently met with U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro at DeLauro’s annual luncheon for mayors.

DeLauro briefed the municipal leaders on federal budget and policy issues and the future of the Affordable Care Act. She also offered assistance to leaders on local issues. Other issues discussed at the luncheon were the effects of winter snow storms on municipal budgets and grant opportunities.

“These face-to-face meetings with Congressional representatives and other municipal leaders are very helpful,” said Scalettar. “In addition to issues affecting us all, I was also able to talk with Rosa and her staff about Woodbridge specific matters, including the need for additional funding for removal of the Pond Lily Dam. As always, they stand ready to help in any way they can.”
