Connecticut House of Representatives

Busing

In 1993, Powers was the only House legislator to vote against a measure that provided $2.6 million (Шаблон:Inflation) for public bus subsidies in Bridgeport and New Haven. Powers stated that she did not vote for the plan because it did not contain any funding for her home district in Greenwich; the Hartford Courant wrote that Greenwich was an "affluent community" along with other Connecticut cities that received no funding, such as New Canaan, Darien, and Westport.[3]

Hospice care

In 2007, Powers proposed bills in the Connecticut House of Representatives that would have included hospice in the Connecticut's Medicare program, which were introduced after her father received hospice care.[4] Powers commented to the Courant that "it made all the difference in my family"; she also stated that Connecticut state prison inmates have access to hospice care through a government program introduced in 2001.[4]

Later life

After leaving the Connecticut House of Representatives, Powers became a columnist for the Greenwich Time.[5]
