Gov. Ned Lamont said he believes Connecticut can meet President Joe Biden s challenge to make all adults eligible for COVID-19 vaccines by May 1, a deadline that already closely matches the state s vaccination rollout plan.
“On behalf of the people of Connecticut: I accept this challenge,” Lamont said in a statement released in response to the president s address to the nation on Thursday evening. Both are Democrats.
“Achieving universal access to vaccines for all adults by May is a bold, aggressive goal coming from President Biden, and this is the kind of leadership that is necessary to get our state and our country back to normal,” Lamont said.
Connecticut bill to ban foam takeout containers in 2023 advances Christopher Keating, Hartford Courant
As many restaurants are still struggling and increasingly relying on foam containers to carry takeout food, a key legislative committee voted Friday to ban the containers starting in July 2023.
Democrats on the environment committee say the single-use containers are major polluters that should be banned because the products do not break down naturally, pollute the oceans and take up excessive space in landfills.
But Republicans expressed concern about the economic impact on restaurants and catering businesses saying the measure needs to be delayed. More than 600 restaurants have closed during the ongoing pandemic, and others closed briefly in the winter as they prepare for outdoor dining in the coming weeks and months.
