Environmental advocates have called on Governor Hochul to include a package of bills to help New York meet its climate goals in her executive budget. Advocates want Connecticut to raise taxes on the wealthy to help improve child care in the state. Eversource plans to sell its stake in three offshore wind farms in the region. And is it time for Connecticut schools to consolidate?
