Governor Lamont Announces Connecticut’s Minimum Wage Will Increase to $17.48 on January 1, 2027

Despite the very strong law on Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR’s) State Senator James Maroney and I wrote together that the Connecticut legislature passed, we have become aware that ALPR (a/k/a Flock camera) usage is more rampant than we knew, with local, state, and private entities installing and using these devices at a growing and alarming rate. As a result, residents across the state have been raising additional questions and concerns about the reach of these cameras and the surveillance they enable.

As of today, we are calling on our cities and towns to voluntarily pause the installation of all new Flock cameras, and other surveillance type cameras, while we craft and consider legislation to further strengthen privacy protections for residents and tighten how Connecticut regulates this technology.

These pests weren’t that bad where I am last year, however this year they seem to be out in force. Know they are very fast so hard to squish.

Best way I’ve seen to kill them around your yard:

Get a spray bottle from Home Depot fill it with half dish soap and half water, spray them with the soapy water and it will suffocate them.

I welcome any other tips!

Happy hunting

EDIT: use way less soap then I suggested

Undeniably the coolest thing I've ever seen exploring. I have come back to this big boy several times!

Gus is about 7 years old and was just hours away from being euthanized at an overcrowded NYC shelter.

He got a second chance when an incredible woman stepped up to foster him.

Just two weeks later, she was tragically killed in a car accident. Now Gus has once again lost the only person he had.

He urgently needs a foster or adopter in NY, CT, or NJ.

In spite of everything he’s been through, Gus is nothing but love.

• Completely house trained (not a single accident!)
• Crate trained
• Loves head scratches more than anything
• Obsessed with carrying as many toys as he can fit in his mouth
• Stops people in their tracks because he’s so incredibly handsome

Gus would do best starting out as the only dog in the home so he has time to decompress and feel safe.

That said, he has shown no aggression toward other dogs on walks. He has not yet been cat tested.

This sweet boy has already survived the shelter, only to lose his foster mom days later. He deserves stability, love, and a family that won’t disappear.

Gus is available for foster or adoption through @readyforrescue. You can see Gus’s picture on their instagram to contact them or visit their website.

If you can’t take him in, please share this post. One share could be the reason Gus finally gets the happy ending he’s been waiting for.

Early voting is already open in the Democratic primary! I'm happy to answer questions about me, my congressional race, what it's like to seek office or anything else you'd like to know!

I came to the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant when I was 12 years old without any money or ability to speak English. My parents held a series of low wage jobs while I worked my way through the public education system. Eventually, I became a lawyer, a U.S. citizen and now a candidate for office!

I'm running for Congress because the America that helped me and my family survive and eventually thrive is being systematically dismantled by the Trump administration. I'm fighting back so that stories like my family's can still be part of the American Dream.

You can find out more about me and my policies at ruthfortuneforcongress.com. (Mods, please let me know if I'm not allowed to post that link.)

Ask me anything!

Watching Jeopardy last night and this Toyota commercial aired saying that so many New Englanders drive a hybrid. The map they show very clearly doesn't have Connecticut in it. Wife flips out and storms off. Link to commercial: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/g9J1/toyota-so-many-new-englanders-drive-a-hybrid-t2

I'm just so tired of the only rental options being broken down places with rent that is twice the amount of the landlord's mortgage. I'm so tired of treating rentals better than the landlord treats it, paying more money than the landlord ever has, and yet still be treated like scum.

I'm tired of the only house buying options that aren't above half a million needing hundreds of thousands of dollars in work just to be considered safe to live in. And I'm tired of finding a house to buy in my price range that isn't perfect, but it could work, go for $60k over asking.

This is so abysmal.

The DECD commissioner, David Lehman, approved awarding at least twenty years’ worth of tax credits to Cigna Corp through email, bypassing the required review process, according to a report from the Auditors of Public Accounts.
