Condo Owner Prevails After Window Debate

Melissa Beauchemin was ready to leave her Quinnipiac Avenue condo if she couldn’t replace its 14 failing windows. Her windows, she told the city’s Historic District Commission (HDC) Wednesday night at City Hall, are unsafe. Some slam shut when opened. One came “crashing down” and smashed a fan she’d set in it. Several panes in her bedroom are cracked, the seals are dried out, and she can see outside through gaps in the frames. Her kitchen window is caulked shut — her brother wouldn’t cut it open when she moved in, she said, for fear it would fall out.

Editorial: CT Democrats further cement one-party rule, but change is still possible

Connecticut electoral politics has been dully predictable in recent years. Not since 2006 has a Republican been elected to Congress or a Connecticut constitutional office, including the governorship. The last time the GOP won majority status in the state Senate was 1997, aside from an 18-18 tie in 2016; in the House, 1984. Since the 2018 election, Democrats have enjoyed a trifecta – control of the executive and legislative branches of state government – but Republican nominees continued to win their share of state House and Senate seats.

Farmington Fire Station Vote Now Aimed at Fall 2027

FARMINGTON — Farmington voters won't be asked about new firehouses in East Farms and Unionville, and a bigger station in the village, until fall 2027. On Friday, Oct. 30, the committee planning the $30 million to $35 million project agreed to skip a spring or summer vote. Members said the volunteer chiefs need time to work out what each station requires, and the architect needs time to land on a price that holds. Waiting has its own cost, the architect warned: steel is getting scarce and expensive, and his firm is hearing that data centers are the cause.

Speedy improvements sought for CT prison healthcare system

Advocates for people behind bars in Connecticut say they want swift changes to the state’s prison health care system. An Office of the Correction Ombuds report from earlier this year found nearly 1,600 people in prison awaiting appointments for off-site medical treatment. The latest report showed the office received around 2,000 complaints about the Department of Correction’s health services. Barbara Fair, executive director of the group Stop Solitary CT, said it has been a long-standing problem. "People have waited for years to get specialty services. People reportedly have died waiting for services and many have gone home with so many diseases and chronic illnesses as the result of medical neglect," Fair pointed out. The state has enacted a new law to improve prison healthcare. It takes a multifaceted approach, requiring the state to provide medically necessary procedures at on-site or off-site facilities and to keep electronic health records. It also creates a Correction Medical and Health Commission to draft a 10-year plan to improve medical, nutrition, behavioral health and healthcare services for incarcerated people. Fair's group said other changes are needed, including hiring more healthcare professionals to work for the Department of Corrections. She noted some people have left the
