What an impressive group of students at @MiddletownHigh! This morning, @LGSusanB and I spoke to a group of @MiddletownDECA and FFA members about the lifelong benefits of strong personal finance skills, and some things we wish we knew about money when we were in high school.

Joined my alma mater, @UNewHaven, as part of the Power On series. As the 1st in my family to go to college, the obstacles facing first-gen students parallel the big picture struggles across CT. We all benefit when everyone has resources & opportunities to fully participate.

Thank you to the @unitedwaycwc for inviting me to speak at this year’s Impact Breakfast. Grateful for all the United Way does to help our neighbors connect with critical services. It’s our shared goal to get everyone in CT participating fully in our economy.

Connecticut made an 11.5% return last fiscal year investing its pension assets, placing in the top 25% nationally of large public pension funds, @TreasRussell reported Wednesday. ctmirror.org/2024/09/11/ct-…

I’m grateful for the partnership of the IAC, which shares responsibility for our investment strategy and performance. Outgoing Chair Ellen Shuman has done outstanding work. I’m glad she will stay on alongside new Chair Philip Zecher, appointed today. portal.ct.gov/governor/news/…

This progress is owed to a host of reforms aimed at better allocating assets and building our investment team of experts. It’s also owed to a unified commitment within state govt, led by @GovNedLamont, who joined me at today’s announcement, to strengthen our pension funds.

In the last Fiscal Year, CT’s pension funds generated returns of 11.5% and grew by $6.7B. We measure success over the long-term, not by individual year, but we continue to move in the right direction, at great benefit to taxpayers and pensioners. portal.ct.gov/ott/newsroom/n…
