GOVERNOR LAMONT REMINDS RESIDENTS THAT CONNECTICUT’S MINIMUM WAGE IS SCHEDULED TO INCREASE ON FRIDAY

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont is reminding Connecticut residents that the state’s minimum wage will increase from the current rate of $13.00 per hour to $14.00 per hour beginning on Friday, July 1, 2022. The change is the result of legislation he signed into law three years ago that schedules several increases in the minimum wage over a five-year period. “For too long, while the nation’s economy grew, the income of the lowest earning workers has stayed flat, making already existing pay disparities even worse and preventing hardworking families from obtaining financial security,” Governor Lamont said. “This is a fair, gradual increase for workers who will invest the money right back into our economy and continue supporting local businesses in their communities.”…

New Eversource Program Aims to Improve Electric Resiliency in Hardest Hit Neighborhoods

With trees causing 90% of outages during storms and severe weather happening more often, Eversource is launching a new, data-driven approach to vegetation management. The energy company has identified electric lines on its network with the worst reliability performance and is looking to collaborate with individual property owners and their community leaders to look at the vegetation along those lines. Using 10 years of outage data, Eversource arborists are working to understand how concentrated tree work, including retention and planting of appropriate utility-compatible trees can strengthen the grid to make it more resilient during powerful storms. “Our goal is to find a collaborative solution with our customers and communities that has the potential to significantly reducetree-related outages during storms,” said Eversource Vice President of Operation…
