ATTORNEY GENERAL TONG WARNS AGAINST JOB RECRUITER SCAMS
(Hartford, CT)- Attorney General William Tong today urged Connecticut job seekers to remain vigilant against elaborate job recruitment scams. Cybercriminals are impersonating recruiters from legitimate companies to steal money, personal information, and other sensitive information from job seekers. These scams often appear on popular job search websites, like Indeed and LinkedIn, and on social media. The criminals may identify and target job seekers who have recently posted about the job search, layoffs, or displayed an “open to work” banner on their profiles. “As graduates begin searching for jobs and launching their careers, scammers are preying on that excitement and luring victims into handing over money and personal information.

Hwang Calls For Fairfield Speed Camera Pause
https://youtu.be/VtsxVHTmlVo State Sen. Tony Hwang, ranking Republican leader on the Transportation Committee, is calling on Fairfield officials to pause the town’s speed camera program after warning-period data projected nearly 190,000 violations in May. Hwang said the number is “alarming and shocking,” but not surprising, arguing that speeding has become normalized across Fairfield and other Connecticut communities. He said he continues to support speed and red-light cameras as a public safety tool, but believes Fairfield should use the May warning period to improve education, signage, public awareness and transparency before full enforcement continues. Hwang said the program grew out of Connecticut’s 2023 Vision Zero roadway safety legislation, which allowed municipalities to adopt automated traffic enforcement programs with state approval. Connecticut’s Public…
