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.

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.

Families Across Connecticut Make The Drive For This Children’s Museum Kids Never Want To Leave

A woodchuck named Chuckles helps run a Groundhog Day celebration here every year. Yes, a real woodchuck. Somehow that’s only one of the reasons kids beg to come back. The whole thing started in a school storage closet. An art teacher filled it with treasures from her travels, and the idea simply grew from there.
