WASHINGTON Connecticut’s resident population increased by 1 percent from 2010 to 2020 and the state will maintain the same number of congressional seats, the U.S. Census Bureau said Monday in its first announcement of the results of the 2020 census.
The U.S. Census was conducted in 2020 for the first time in 10 years with the pandemic posing new challenges to data collection. The data collected will determine apportionment of Congressional and state legislative seats, the distribution of Electoral College votes and impact federal funding for states and localities.

Committee advances Democratic budget focused on equity

The Connecticut General Assembly s budget-writing committee approved, along party lines, a proposed two-year $46 billion state spending plan crafted by the majority Democrats who say that it attempts to address many equity issues that came to light during the pandemic and the nation s reckoning on race.
The committee s budget bill is essentially a response to Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont s proposed budget unveiled in February, which also spends roughly $46 billion over two years. However, it includes more money than Lamont s budget for financially struggling nonprofit agencies that provide social services, as well as to local health and school districts, workforce development programs, higher education and other initiatives.
