Today I join colleagues in government and politics, and people across the state, in mourning the passing of former Lieutenant Governor Joseph J. Fauliso. Lt. Gov. Faulisos political career spanned six remarkable decades in state history, from his election to the Hartford Board of Aldermen in 1943 to the end of his final term as lieutenant governor in 1991. In between, his public service included time as a municipal court judge and state senator, rising to senate president. He spent most of his adult life in the service of his state, even postponing his retirement when duty called. His dedication to service, his eloquence and his mentoring of others serve as fine examples to those who follow.
