AGP Executive Report

Last update: 31 minutes ago

Federal vs. State Power: The U.S. Justice Department sued Connecticut over a new law that limits how federal officers operate in the state, arguing it puts agents at risk and can’t be imposed from Hartford. Public Safety Funding: Hartford secured about $870,000 to keep its alternative 911 response program running for another year or two, sending trained civilians instead of police to certain calls. Criminal Justice: A Southington man was sentenced to 90 months for selling “ghost guns,” assault-style firearms, and marijuana. Gun Policy Fight: Connecticut lawmakers are watching the national fallout as Virginia’s “assault weapons” ban triggers immediate lawsuits. Online Safety Push: Big Tech CEOs (including Connecticut’s Richard Blumenthal’s Senate colleagues) are invited back to Capitol Hill to face questions on children’s online safety. Education & Cost: A new federal bill from Sen. Jahana Hayes would make student loan forgiveness easier for teachers. Local Politics: New Britain launched a 2026 arts and culture grant program for nonprofits.
