The Connecticut Council of Small Towns (COST), presented Town Crier Awards at its annual meeting on January 16. Sen. Kevin Witkos, l., who represents Avon, Barkhamsted, Canton, Colebrook, Granby, Hartland, Harwinton, New Hartford, Norfolk, Simsbury and Torrington, was one of this year’s recipients. “Sen. Witkos has been a strong advocate for providing towns with much-needed relief from unfunded state mandates and supporting programs critical to our small towns, such as the Resident State Trooper program,” said Leo Paul, first selectman of Litchfield and COST’s past president, in presenting the award.
