Former Connecticut state trooper Timothy Haroian, a school resource officer, was fired in December 2022 after an investigation into his inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old student.

Judge Allows Revolution Wind Offshore Project to Resume Construction A judge in Washington D.C. has overturned a stop-work order on the Revolution Wind offshore project, a significant victory for Orsted, the company behind the project. The project, which aims to power over 300,000 homes in Connecticut and Rhode Island, was nearly complete when the Trump administration halted construction due to national security concerns. However, the judge ruled that the administration failed to provide a valid reason for the halt and that their criticisms seemed unrelated to security. The project had already been approved by the Defense Department before the new administration took over. The ruling allows skilled laborers to return to work and could save Connecticut families an estimated $500 million a year in energy costs. Checkout Solipillow.com
