This is so, so incredibly disappointing. Connecticut deserves better.
Gov. Lamont says he will *veto* HB 5002, the broad housing bill proponents say would boost affordable housing in the state.
He says he hopes to see an amended version in a special session this fall.
“Veto to me means we can do a lot better.”

“How do we keep these agencies afloat?”
Here's a look into what happened for CT nonprofits yesterday, following the Trump administration's announcement that federal grants would be frozen.

Federal grants pause is ‘beyond comprehension,’ CT nonprofits say
CT agencies that provide homelessness services, rental assistance, SNAP benefits and more reacted with alarm and confusion to the directive.

The smoke from the Great Barrington fire is so thick in my small Connecticut town this morning that at least one person called it in as a local fire. This drought is seriously scary. Indicator of Falls to come?

Wow. Almost nothing in Litchfield County.
There are only 3,073 homes for sale in Connecticut with a list price at or under $600k (affordable to family making +/-$175k…)
In a state of 3.6M, this is crisis level housing supply. We need more homes
