Danbury State Senator Julie Kushner has been recognized by the Connecticut EMS Councils as their Legislator of the Year.  She thanked these essential workers for risking their lives and the lives of their families during this pandemic. Over the last year, the 22-thousand Connecticut emergency medical service personnel responded to 779-thousand calls.  Kushner helped to enact Workers Compensation protection for these workers when they suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Injuries.
