"It will be up to us - those of us who hold the public trust, who share in the blessings and burdens of public service - to help the people of our state cross the bridge to a new future."
Not only was the Governor sworn in, but our new Lt. Governor Michael Fedele, Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, State Treasurer Denise Nappier, and State Comptroller Nancy Wyman were also sworn in.
The State Representatives and Senators were also sworn in. From the Danbury Delegation State Representative Bob Godfrey (D-110) and State Representative Jan Giegler (R-138) were both re-elected in November, and took the oath to continue serving. Godfrey is starting his tenth term, while Giegler will be starting her third.
Also from our delegation, Jason Bartlett (D-2) and Joe Taborsak (D-109) were sworn in for their first time on Wednesday. Bartlett and Taborsak ran for open seats because the current Representatives, Hank Bielawa and Lew Wallace chose not to run again.
Greater Danbury's State Senator David Cappiello (R-24) took the oath for a fifth term yesterday. He ran this year unopposed for the third time in his State Senate history.
This session, the legislature is expected to focus on energy prices, health care, and the economy just to mention a few issues.
