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.

The Unassuming Connecticut Deli Locals Swear Stacks The Best Reuben In The State

Somebody once called this Reuben the sandwich that has launched a thousand road trips. I believe that line, mostly because the menu lists a Baked Salmon Reuben too. The deli behind it sits in a plain shopping plaza in Connecticut. It has served Jewish deli classics since 1972, and the pickles hit your table free.

What Home Care Really Costs Connecticut Families

For eight years I worked as a nurse at one of the major hospitals in our area, on a med-surg floor and in ED observation. I saw the same moment again and again. An older patient was medically ready to go home. And the family was standing at the bedside asking, quietly, whether Mom would be safe, and whether she would fall again the minute she got back to her own kitchen.

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
