Senator Richard Blumenthal will be in New Milford today.  He will meet with Mayor Pete Bass about how to make a case for federal funding after the town was denied assistance from FEMA for recovery and cleanup efforts related to the May 15th storms.  Last week, the State received a Major Disaster Declaration to help communities in Fairfield and New Haven Counties, but according to FEMA, New Milford is one of three towns in Litchfield County not eligible for public assistance under this declaration.  FEMA also denied individual assistance to Connecticut residents.
