Gov. Ned Lamont announced a significant shift in his vaccine rollout plan Monday, moving forward with vaccinations by age group rather than prioritizing people based on underlying health conditions or frontline occupations. “I’m going to focus on the old business motto, KISS: Keep it simple, stupid,” he said of the new plan, which he and his administration argued would mean a faster rate of vaccination statewide.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong disclosed Thursday that his office is investigating the quasi-public Connecticut Port Authority and a more than $500,000 fee it paid to a consultant.
The investigation involves the Port Authority’s 2018 contract with a subsidiary of New York-based Seabury Capital Group that received more than $700,000 from the authority, Tong said in a letter to Republican state Sens.
