More than 200 people gathered in Connecticut on Saturday to denounce increasing attacks on Asian Americans around the country.
A “Stop Asian Hate” rally was held outside Fairfield Town Hall and included speeches by state Attorney General William Tong, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and other officials and advocates. Download our mobile app for iOS or Android to get alerts for local breaking news and weather.
Members of the crowd held signs saying “Stop the hate! Stop the violence!,” “Where is the love?” and “Racism is the real pandemic.” The activist group “Running to Protest” brought New Yorkers together to rally and run a 5K in solidarity with Black and Asian Americans.
I don t know but I can guess what Gov. Ned Lamont doesn t want us to learn from withheld communications between his office and his hand-picked chairman of the scandal-plagued Connecticut Port Authority.
After all, it was the governor himself who disclosed that the cost of port authority renovations at State Pier, crafted for utilities Eversource and Ørsted, has shot up a cool $43 million even before the authority made public the overruns, which state taxpayers will be responsible for paying.
Clearly Lamont is closely involved with the port authority s project, which could end up as a subsidy of $150 million or more made for the utilities without a single study or cost/benefit analysis of what kinds and how many jobs it might create. What we do know without a study is that the project already has eliminated dozens of jobs and put people out of work.
