The CCDL Executive Board proudly selects Melissa Ziobron as the 2017 CCDL Legislator of the Year.
Announcing the award, president Scott Wilson stated the following:
“CCDL
would like to express our gratitude for the hard work that Melissa has
done to protect our rights as citizens of Connecticut. While many other
legislators were very helpful to kill pistol permit fee increase
proposals or other gun related bills, this particular year, Melissa has
stood out.”
“With
Melissa’s effort to get ahead of this important issue, CCDL was able to
muster support in time to testify before her committee and oppose these
proposed fee increases. In a year of serious fiscal shortfalls, this
was no small feat. CCDL and every permit holder owes Melissa a debt of
gratitude. We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to her on
behalf of our members.”
Melissa
serves the 34th house district (Colchester, East Haddam and East
Hampton). As a ranking member of the Appropriations Committee, she kept a
keen eye on budget proposals that would have severely impacted the fees
for pistol permits. These proposed fee increases would have been
devastating to many gun owners in the state.
Melissa
will be attending our monthly meeting to receive her award. CCDL
invites our members to join us at the Elks Lodge (44 Maynard St) on
November 14th 7:00pm in Middletown, CT to honor her.
