GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLASTShe was presented the award at the group’s 100th anniversary celebration on Nov. 16.
“This award is a tremendous honor. I have worked hard throughout my legislative career to be a strong advocate for the elderly and disabled, and introduced many bills on their behalf, many of which have become law. It’s overwhelming and humbling to be recognized by the Mental Health Association for those efforts,” said Naughton.
In the most recent session, Naughton introduced legislation that adds wireless telephones to the adaptive telephone equipment loan program which services the needs of people are deaf, hard of hearing, severely speech impaired, or those with neuromuscular impairments.
Legislator of the Year
“I am overjoyed that my efforts to address the problem of lead contamination in drinking water was recognized by this fine organization. It is of the utmost priority that the state protect and maintain the purity and quality of its drinking water. Of every natural resource we possess, there is none more vital to health and life itself than drinking water. We’ve seen what can happen without the best safeguards in place, and we need to guarantee that the integrity of our water is never eroded," said Naughton.
This year, Naughton spearheaded lead prevention efforts in the General Assembly by introducing the Lead and Copper Drinking Water Protection Act, which became law on July 12.
The law directs the Department of Health to use funds from federal capitalization grants to conduct baseline copper and lead testing of the water supply systems of each local government and public schools.
