Sen. Len Fasano, R-North Haven, was named the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association's Legislator of the Year this week.
The association says they recognized Fasano for his work on legislation that tightened existing laws regulating the purchase and sale of scrap metal.
"Police throughout the state were responding to increased reports of metal theft -- everything from electrical wiring, statues to stadium bleachers," Fasano said in a prepared statement. "That metal was ending up at scrap yards, being sold illegally for cash."
While Fasano already has his award in hand, House Majority Leader Chris Donovan, D-Meriden, is waiting for his. Donovan will get the Connecticut Chapter of the American College of Physicians' Legislator of the Year award at the group's annual meeting in Southington.
The chapter is honoring Donovan for his work on a health care pooling bill that would have allowed municipalities, small businesses and nonprofits to join the state's health care plan. The bill was passed by the General Assembly and vetoed by the governor.
