Which is in part why CT is unaffordable- it's not the zoning!

CT Progressives—> if you want more housing then CT needs cheaper electricity. Affordable housing starts with cheaper electricity!!!!

Yes, end the public benefits charge. We have to decide how to balance our books to cover our wants and needs, so should legislators… want to fund a costly program, put it in the State budget, not on resident’s electric bills. #NoKings #Shame https://t.co/lsbVMEUA4p

Fact: Beyond already exempted land, the new law opens up much previously undevelopable or low-density "open space" (like undeveloped parcels not formally protected) to housing pressure. This creates an "open season" effect on non-restricted open space, as local controls weaken to

Where were the #environmentalists with HB8002? The law that was just passed does not preserve open space unless it is already protected by an easement or deeded town run open space, or is within a wetland. If we want to expand our wetlands buffers later, we won’t be able to

HAPPENING NOW: Watch @GovNedLamont sign the bill that removes local control of zoning! https://t.co/MV3NFogH9l

The recent @ct_investigator article on HB8002 is strikingly one-sided. Aside from a brief quote from Rep. Raghib Allie-Brennan, it completely ignores the perspectives of CT169Strong, the thousands of citizens who contacted @GovNedLamont and legislators, and Republican lawmakers

Today Ned Lamont celebrates Law 8002-- the "economic diversity law." If you have a single family home in a quiet neighborhood, this law allows the government to put a trailer park or affordable housing project next door to you. Protect your home. Defeat Lamont.

This is part of the bigger problem with @journalism in #Connecticut -- journalists spend time writing blogs about @GovNedLamont's @Spotify music list vs. asking tough questions and doing deeper dives into issues that really impact #Connecticut and its residents. Example - here

💰💸Remember: #Connecticut has the third highest energy costs in the U.S. Public benefits charges have doubled since 2018. Majority approved such nonprofit slush funding and had PURA push the costs onto residents as a public benefits charge. Energy costs are part of the federal

Indeed, there was NOTHING Bipartisan about 8002. The narratives from the majority party must end! ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/R8iW1ilSup

Where is our government that represents the people? Where is the media?

Yes, this bill was shepherded by State Rep. Eleni Kavros DeGraw from #AvonCT, a head of the Planning and Development Committee. Democrats have a 2/3 supermajority in Hartford and as a result, did not need a single Republican vote to pass 8002. When the larger cities have so many
