Gov. Dannel P. Malloy paid a visit to the New Haven Legal Assistance Association on Friday, April 18 to reaffirm his support for a legislative proposal that would send a greater proportion of court filing fees to legal aid groups.

“Connecticut legal aid services have been forced to shrink because of pressures on other sources of funding,” Malloy said. “When legal aid agencies have to turn away low-income victims of domestic violence, tenants facing eviction, children with disabilities who are entitled to supportive services… it’s not good for our state.”
