  • Connecticut Hurricane Season

    Connecticut Hurricane Season

    Everyone should have a plan to prepare for an upcoming storm.  

    • Discuss the types of hazards or storms that your family and home may encounter. What supplies would you need? How would your family stay in contact with each other?  
    • Keep important documents in a secure place or create password-protected digital copies.  
    • Identify safe areas for your family in the event of a storm hazard. These areas may not be in your home but could be elsewhere in your community.  

    Familiarize yourself with evacuation routes, especially if you live close to the coast 

    • Determine escape routes from your home and other places to meet. Craft an evacuation plan should circumstances require you to leave town.  
    • Appoint an out-of-state friend as a single point of contact for all family members to check in with at designated times.  
    • Plan for your pets in the event of an evacuation. Some hotels do not allow pets, but many do in an emergency.  
    • Post emergency telephone numbers by / on your phones. Make sure your children know how and when to call 9-1-1.  
    • Create a disaster supply kit. Stock it with non-perishable emergency food, water, first-aid necessities, supplies, flashlights, a battery-powered radio, and extra batteries.  
    • Remember to fully charge any electronic devices you may need in the lead-up to the storm.

  • Your 2016 Presidential Vote Counts

    “Under GOP rules, Trump is the only one who can take himself out of the race. The only provision that exists for replacing a candidate nominated at the party convention is a candidate’s death or his refusal to run.

    If that happened, the 168-member Republican National Committee, made up of members from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five territories, would vote on a new nominee, with the majority vote deciding.”

    Definition:  Otherwise – in circumstances different from those present or considered; or else:

  • Swing Batter Batter – Vetoed by Malloy

    Swing You're Out

     

    Over the past few weeks, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has signed 124 bills and vetoed six. He also used his constitutional authority Thursday to veto $22.5 million from the $19.76 billion state budget.

    The second bill Malloy vetoed Thursday would have reclassified as independent contractors all coaches and referees working with an organized athletic organization. That would means none would be eligible for unemployment compensation, nor would they be protected by employee wage and hour laws.

    The Department of Labor, according to Malloy’s veto message, conducted 95 audits of athletic organizations over the last three years and found 54 percent of coaches and referees were properly classified as independent contractors and 46 percent were misclassified.

    Malloy suggested these organizations use the Labor Department to help classify employees and avoid “overly broad exemptions.”

    The bill had unanimously passed the Senate and passed the House on a 138-7 vote.
