Governor Ned Lamont

Connecticut Republicans failed to win congressional and statewide seats in the midterm elections because of strong voter approval for Democratic Governor Ned Lamont, according to state GOP Chair Ben Proto.

Kosta Diamantis, a former Connecticut state budget official who was fired from one position and resigned from another last year, is arguing that he lost his job because of an unbearable work environment in the Lamont administration.

The City of New Haven received a $25 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to protect the city’s train station and surrounding neighborhoods from flooding during severe weather.

Lamont said the new law will also help make abortions available in Connecticut to women in states like Texas, Florida and Oklahoma, where measures are expected to limit or prohibit birth control options.

Lamont touts $600 million in tax cuts while Republicans say it wasn't enough.

Lamont said the companies are expanding because the business climate has changed in the state.

The April tax free week, which includes athletic wear, is aimed at increasing traffic at Connecticut malls and retailers, Lamont said. This should help them weather the tough economic times created by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

Lamont is not experiencing any symptoms, according to his communications director.

But workers collecting the $2,500 bonus can still retire this summer.

The incentives in the deal are in the form of reduced sales taxes and payroll tax credits.
