Aug 16, 2025 Stephen Krauchick

[Hartford, CT] – U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Marsha Blackburn (D-TN) sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg urging him to shut down Instagram’s new map feature, which would put children’s safety at risk by allowing them to expose their location to dangerous individuals, including pedophiles and traffickers. “We write to express our concern with the introduction of Instagram’s new map feature, which would allow individuals to share their location in real time with users around the world.

As Tropical Storm Erin Looms, Senator Tony Hwang Leads Coastal Resiliency Forum to Strengthen Climate Readiness and Community Safety

Aug 15, 2025 Stephen Krauchick

FAIRFIELD, CT — With Tropical Storm Erin forming in the Atlantic and potentially tracking toward the Northeast, State Senator Tony Hwang (R–Fairfield) hosted his annual Hurricane Coastal Resiliency Forum to confront the escalating threats of climate change and extreme weather to Fairfield and coastal communities across Connecticut. The forum could not be more timely. Rising sea levels and warming ocean temperatures are fueling more intense and dangerous storms, and experts warn that Erin could become another wake-up call for our region. Senator Hwang emphasized the urgent need for action—not just after storms hit, but through continuous preparation, awareness, and education. “Climate change is real, and it’s accelerating.

Aug 15, 2025 Stephen Krauchick

https://youtu.be/LRbgT4aSeIk Bridgeport, CT – The Klein Memorial Auditorium today marked a historic milestone with the ribbon cutting for the first building addition in its 85-year history. The $3.8 million expansion—funded primarily by the State Bonding Commission with additional support from the City of Bridgeport—adds an elevator, a wheelchair-accessible restroom, a conference room, and three new offices. The project also continues a decade-long transformation of The Klein, which began in 2016 with major technical upgrades, new carpeting, and the installation of a large exterior digital sign. Those earlier improvements—including new lighting, audio, and video projection systems—have significantly reduced production costs, expanded programming, and helped attract events like the Bridgeport Film Festival, which The Klein has hosted since its inception in 2021.…
