“I’m deeply honored to receive this award,” said Rep. O’Neill.  “CTPOA and I worked hard together to stop bad tenants from abusing the system while protecting the rights of law-abiding tenants.  I look forward to working with them in the next legislative session that starts in January.”

CTPOA President Bob DeCosmo presented the award, noting that O’Neill, who assisted with the founding of the organization, has been an essential aspect of the success of the group and their policy goals of ensuring that fair housing laws are fair for all parties involved.

The CTPOA also recognized Representatives Cara Pavalock (R-77) and Rep. Larry Butler (D-72) with their “Legislative Leadership Award.”
