We’re getting the second hand smoke now. But this is one more reminder that we’re in for stuff we don’t think much about yet. We’ve got lots of forest land in CT. As we experience more extreme weather patterns, we’re going to be vulnerable to fire, not just smoke. Time to plan.
@GovNedLamont: CT is on a spree of building new homes, no need to force towns to reform NIMBY zoning . Data: Housing construction is flat. Analysis: CT in 48th place in U.S. for building more homes, after adjusting for population. ctinsider.com/news/article/l…
Seven years ago, I covered a press conference announcing those maddening Route 9 traffic lights would be gone by 2023. Here’s the tale of why they’re still there, the final design unsettled. ctmirror.org/2023/05/28/ct-…

For 7 months @Cigna hasn't reimbursed routine therapy for my son who has special needs. For 7 months, they have stonewalled me about why, even though the therapy is clearly covered in my policy. For 7 months, I have sat on hold, shuttled from operator to operator. At my wit's end

I believe loneliness is one of America's great modern social and political problems. And so I'm drafting legislation right now to establish a national strategy to combat isolation and promote connectedness. Stay tuned for more details. thebulwark.com/the-politics-o…
We’re getting the second hand smoke now. But this is one more reminder that we’re in for stuff we don’t think much about yet. We’ve got lots of forest land in CT. As we experience more extreme weather patterns, we’re going to be vulnerable to fire, not just smoke. Time to plan.
This is shameful.
The Human Rights Campaign has declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people living in the U.S. — the first time the organization has made such a warning in its 40-year history.

So weird. PGA officials were in my office just months ago talking about how the Saudis' human rights record should disqualify them from having a stake in a major American sport. I guess maybe their concerns weren't really about human rights?
Breaking: The PGA Tour, LIV Golf and the DP World Tour have merged "to unify the game of golf," it was announced Tuesday. More: es.pn/3NcAkPs
The @PGATOUR has destroyed any legacy they may have had and all for a big wad of cash.
LGBTQI+ rights are human rights.
Simsbury (8 miles from downtown Hartford) refusing to permit a mixed-income four story apt building because it would be the town's tallest building tells you everything you need to know about "character of the community" and how perpetuating the status quo perpetuates exclusion.
4 years later and nothing has changed. Last week, suburban Dems in the legislature blocked a bill to boost fair housing enforcement in the state.
In southwest Connecticut, the gap between rich and poor is wider than anywhere else in the country. Invisible walls created by local zoning boards and the state government block affordable housing and, by extension, the people who need it. (From 2019) propublica.org/article/how-so…
