CT NOFA Advocates for Environmental Rights in Hartford
March 18, 2025
CT NOFA Director of Policy and Advocacy, Dr. Kim Stoner, was on hand in Hartford today along with Republican state senator Tony Hwang to discuss the proposed amendment that would enshrine the right to a clean environment into the Connecticut state constitution.
Dr. Stoner said “the legislation would empower disadvantaged Connecticut communities and farmers, who have been hit with increased flooding and droughts. It strengthens their advocacy and if they need to, they can also engage in litigation. They can sue the state to deal with problems with permits that should not be given.”
