REP. BUTLER HONORED

State Representative Larry B. Butler (D-Waterbury) was recently honored by the Waterbury Neighborhood Council for his advocacy efforts both in Hartford and in Waterbury. Rep. Butler received the President’s Recognition Award for preventing the location of a trash-to-energy plant in Waterbury and for his mortgage foreclosure mediation efforts.

“It was an honor to bring the Speaker of the House to Waterbury to help homeowners navigate their way through a complicated process,” said Rep. Butler. “Helping residents stay in their homes will remain a top priority as long as I am the House Chair of the Housing Committee.”

The association honored Rep. Butler and others at its annual Awards Dinner Nov. 4 at the Villa Rose at the Pontelandolfo Club in Waterbury.

Rep. Butler said, “I was proud to work with the Waterbury state delegation and take a lead role in bringing a bill to the house floor preventing this trash-to-energy plant from coming to the city.”

Rep. Butler is in his 3rd term serving the 72nd House District in Waterbury.
