It was a terrific day for Newtown today, as winners in the Nov. 4 elections were sworn into office by Lt Gov. Susan Bysiewicz in a ceremony at Edmond Town Hall. The Newtown High School Choir sand beautifully; our Poet Laureate Lauren Clifford commenorated the occasion … and everyone promised to get to work.

As I prepare to walk in the Newtown Labor Day Parade today, I can't help but think about the growing inequities in this country and how much harder it's become for young people to land their first job, let alone buy their first home.
My father was a community college professor in Chicago. This photo is of him on strike with his fellow faculty members, fighting for better working conditions. My family struggled to get by, but my parents worked hard, and my brother and I were given opportunities they never had.
The labor movement helped make it possible for each generation to do better than the previous one. It's the reason working families like mine had a shot at something better.
I am grateful for everyone who's ever stood up, walked out, or spoken up for a fairer deal. We need it now more than ever. We need it now more than ever, because the gap between those who work and those who profit from that work keeps widening, and unions remain one of the few tools working people have to close it.
I hope to see you at the Labor Day parade!

Thank you to the Paprowski's for hosting the annual Ukrainian Festival. Excellent to see Senator Blumenthal there – always in support of Ukraine.
