State Representative Danny Rovero (D-Putnam, Killingly, Thompson) announced his 2017 General Assembly committee assignments.  Rovero is the House vice chair of the Aging Committee and also continues to serve on the General Law and Public Safety & Security committees.

“I am honored to be vice chair of Aging,” said Rovero.  “Senior citizens deserve respect, admiration, and recognition for all they have achieved during their lifetimes.  And I will have the pleasure of serving with fellow Quiet Corner lawmaker, Senator Mae Flexer.”

 “My work on Public Safety is gratifying. We were able to keep Troop D open and the State Police communications unit up and running,” said Rovero.  “I recognize the committee’s responsibility of supporting police and all emergency responders.”

“I believe in government efficiency which is why the General Law Committee is so important.  Sometimes enforcing or modifying existing laws is preferable to passing new ones.”

In addition to his committee assignments Rep. Rovero also has the leadership position of Majority Whip At Large.

Rovero was first elected in 2010 and is beginning his fourth term in the General Assembly.
