Gov. John Dempsey Readiness Center (P.A. 26-97)

In May, the House and Senate passed this bill to name the Connecticut

National Guard Readiness Center complex in honor of Governor John

Dempsey, a past governor and former state representative of the great

town of Putnam.

There were past and present town officials and General Assembly

members, including our House delegation here in the Quiet Corner from

both sides of the aisle, who helped move this bill through the Veterans’

Committee and through the General Assembly.

I was proud to co-sponsor this legislation that honored a man who meant

so much not just to Putnam, but across Northeastern Connecticut and

our entire state.
