Bill Requiring US Defense To Purchase 100% American Made Products
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a member of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, on Thursday introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2021 that would increase the Buy American requirements on major defense programs to 100% domestic content. Currently, equipment that has only 50% of its content from U.S. suppliers is considered compliant with the Buy American Act. Requiring 100% of the products purchased by the Defense Department to be made in America will support U.S. manufacturers and create jobs.

Many of you still don't know that Mayor Ganim turned off the press radios for us, News12 and CT Post. In a time where the police should be more transparent, the mayor has taken the opposite approach. It hasn't stopped us from reporting the more violent crimes though. Anywho, I contacted police spokesperson Scott Appleby who said: "community policing with high visibility patrols. We were also canvassing for suspects near Trumbull Gardens earlier today" Remember, you See something, Post something. I'll follow up an inquiry. You can message me directly on Facebook, or…
