I was invited to attend this afternoons session with Congresswoman Rosa Delauro and Congressman Christopher Murphy,regarding rising food and fuel costs within our state.Due to the economy, many food pantry's have seen an enormous increase in thier clientele. No longer feeding just the homeless or lower income, they are now serving middle income families that use the food pantry's to supplement thier houshold groceries. Needless to say, with higher fuel costs this winter, our state is going to see a dramatic erosion of our middle class. Congresswoman Delauro has achieved so much with the Farm Act bill that got passed recently. She understands that much more funding needs to become available NOW . She has been an amazing congresswoman fighting for our residents well being for the last 18 years.
Mrs. CT America and I , had the opportunity to speak to the Congressmen about this issue and voice our concerns.
Melba and I had the opportunity to catch up, as we had not seen each other in almost a year! We both competed together in the America system last year, and I was so happy to have found out that she took the title this year!
Congratulations Melba!
