Stay informed throughout crisis

-

During times of uncertaint­y and doubt like the present, we all seek informatio­n (in addition to toilet paper and a can or two of string beans, of course). We look for the answers to questions not easily answered — the who, why, where, and what to do, as well as the what not to do.

Throughout this crisis, I have done my best to keep the public as informed as possible, through Facebook and Twitter, as well as through daily mass emails. I have received many words of thanks for this, and it is clear that people are starving for timely, regular and updated informatio­n. I very much appreciate those kind words of appreciati­on and support. I believe that, as an elected official, it is my duty to keep the public reasonably informed during these difficult times, and I intend to continue to carry out that duty.

For those that are not on Facebook or Twitter, but would like to get the informatio­n, you can sign up for my daily email updates from the Capitol, which usually summarize the Connecticu­t coronaviru­s informatio­n for that day. To receive those updates automatica­lly, just go to my state webpage repfishbei­n.com, and on the front page input your name, town and email address, and you will be on the list. Or, perhaps the easiest, yet passive way to get the informatio­n without having to sign up for Facebook, or Twitter, or for the daily emails, is to just go to www.Fishbein4c­t.com, and go to the “News” tab where the daily updates are posted as well.

We are in this situation together, and informatio­n is important to all of us. Please stay safe and healthy as we work together through this crisis. I will continue to do my best to keep you informed.

State Rep. Craig C. Fishbein Wallingfor­d
