As a longtime resident of Connecticut, I am simply appalled that there is consideration for development around the Silvio O. Conte Wildlife Refuge on the Connecticut River. Last month, Senators Blumenthal and Murphy stood up for protecting this area, and we must guarantee that these lands are safe from pollution and over development. The ecosystem is very fragile, and we must urge more senators from the New England region to support this river which is not only vital to our state, but to Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont as well. I also urge my fellow citizens to take a role in this, for if we do nothing, we all lose.
