Congressman Chris Murphy visits Newtown
Congressman Murphy came to Maplewood to discuss current issues facing Connecticut. The focus was on Medicare and other senior issues and some solutions to the radical plans presented in the proposed House budget.

Fixing Social Security can be done by eliminating the income cap that allows people making over 100k per year to avoid paying for Social Security.
