New York environmental groups urge the governor to expand protections for wetlands. Affordable housing in Connecticut will be a point of contention this legislative session. Several notable Long Islanders could be eligible for presidential pardons once Trump takes office. New York state will soon enact restrictions on pet sales. Plus, availability of AP courses varies across Connecticut school districts.
