Why isn’t DEEP killing more bears?
With multiple ways to prevent incidents and kill problem bears, where is the need to escalate to a bear hunt?

Opinion: Just Cause Eviction is an essential policy for the health and safety of CT residents
In CT, the combination of high housing costs and low vacancy rates has created what some have deemed as the worst place in the country for renters.

In her @ctmirror.org #ScholarReflection, @ctscholarsnetwork.bsky.social member @jennneccidineen.bsky.social of @uconn.bsky.social provides evidence supporting two bills before the CT General Assembly that would address loopholes in current gun regulation. ctmirror.org/2025/04/04/s...
