This week, Connecticut voters can take advantage of early voting opportunities for the first time ever. New Haven takes a step towards increasing tree canopy cover. The Army Corps of Engineers will direct more attention to Fire Island’s eroding shoreline. And how Connecticut could use opioid settlement money to help formerly incarcerated residents.

This episode includes a conversation from Long Story Short, a collaborative podcast from WSHU and the Connecticut Mirror.
