CT-N Video Player: Capitol News Briefing with Governor Lamont on Pending Legislation
In Connecticut, the governor just vetoed a very reasonable anti-exclusionary zoning bill that his own staff helped negotiate. His press conference included ALL the usual exclusionary tropes. Not a word about segregation of course! Very disappointing performance: ct-n.com/ctnplayer.as...

A news article screenshot features headline: "Scott Turner Is Ordering the Housing Department to Limit Transgender People’s Access to Shelters." Below, a subheading states, "The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s directive to stop enforcing its Equal Access Rule would limit transgender people’s ability to access housing programs and shelters."
The main image in the article is a photograph of Scott Turner credited "Evan Vucci/AP"
At the bottom, the byline reads, "By Amelia Benavides-Colón."
Not only is this a cruel & mean-spirited first action by new HUD Sec. Scott Turner, at the end of the day it’s restricting access to shelter — the opposite of HUD’s mission.
