The Connecticut legislature.

An effort by Connecticut lawmakers to expand the state’s vaccine policy has triggered opposition from Republicans and thousands of state residents. New York Governor Kathy Hochul says the state needs more time to slash greenhouse-gas emissions. Plus, Connecticut energy regulators approved an $86 million rate hike for Yankee Gas, owned by Eversource.
