[WASHINGTON, DC] – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) during a confirmation hearing for Alvaro Bedoya to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, urged the FTC to conduct a vigorous and prompt investigation into skyrocketing gas prices, as requested earlier today by President Joe Biden.

(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general from around the nation in urging the U.S. Senate’s Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee to strengthen public health and environmental protections against “forever chemicals.” These chemicals — a class of highly toxic chemical compounds known as poly- and per-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — are widespread, persistent contaminants in the environment, including in drinking water, in Connecticut and in many other states. In a letter addressed to EPW leadership, the coalition argues that the serious dangers posed by PFAS, combined with the tens of millions of taxpayer dollars that coalition states are currently spending to protect residents from these dangers, call for swift congressional action. “PFAS is a serious public health threat, and we need comprehensive testing and reporting to target aid to impacted communities. The federal government must strengthen its protections against these…
