As reported by CT News Junkie, Governor-elect Ned Lamont has hired Connecticut's first ever Chief Operating Officer (COO) in an apparent effort to increase operating efficiencies across state agencies.  The newly created COO position will be held by Paul Mounds.  Lamont intends for the COO to ensure "all departments are working together collaboratively".  According to the Governor-elect's Chief of Staff, Ryan Drajewicz, the COO will evaluate state agency processes to "ensure that the taxpayers have a better user experience when they’re looking to do business with the state of Connecticut".

For the past 20 years, A&R has been represented by two attorneys: Barry Scheinberg and Denise Bevza.  Barry has been our lead attorney and chief spokesperson for nearly 40 years while Denise Bevza has been with us for nearly 20 years.  Barry will continue to be our lead attorney but A&R will no longer have the regular services of Denise Bevza.  Denise was a great attorney and a good friend and we will miss her flare and personality while remaining grateful for all she has provided us over the years.
