As a business reporter, I write about small businesses opening and closing, manufacturing, food and drink, labor issues and economic data. I particularly love writing about the impact of state and federal policy on local businesses. I also do some education reporting, covering colleges in southeastern Connecticut and regional K-12 issues.

CHARLESTON Local health departments and Senate Democratic leaders are concerned a bill meant to provide oversight to local health departments would interfere with public health and erode morale of overworked health officials.
Senate Bill 12 is up for passage today in the state Senate. It was moved to third reading with the right to amend Monday.
SB 12 would give county commissioners and municipal governments a non-voting seat on county and city boards of health. It also gives county and city governments the authority to approve or reject any rule or part of a rule created by a local board of health except instances of health emergencies. In those instances, county and city governments would have 30 days to approve those emergency rules once issued.
Bid to Ban Flavored E-Cigarettes in Vermont
New legislation to ban flavored tobacco products is now before the Vermont General Assembly.
Vermont lawmakers are preparing for legislation that would ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes in the state.
In January of this year, the American Lung Association rated the U.S. state of Vermont received an overall failing grade for its tobacco control efforts.
“In Vermont, our high school tobacco use rate remains 28.2%,” said Alex Crimmin, the American Lung Association’s specialist for health promotions in Vermont, in a statement.
“The surge in youth vaping combined with the fact that smoking increases the chance of severe COVID-19 symptoms, make it more important than ever for Vermont to implement the proven measures outlined in ‘State of Tobacco Control’ to prevent and reduce tobacco use,” Crimmin added.
