(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today released the following statement regarding the re-opening of the federal government:
“This is a welcomed reprieve for the federal workers whose lives have been needlessly turned upside down through no fault of their own. In the next 20 days, I encourage everyone to come to the table in good faith to find a way to reopen the government permanently and in a way that best underscores the values of our country and our people. Regardless, our state agencies will continue contingency planning so we’re prepared to support Connecticut federal workers and taxpayers alike.”
