This week is the 28th anniversary of my first column exploring Connecticut’s natural world. I was recently recognized for my efforts by the Connecticut Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, an award which has been handed out every year since the 1930s.

I'm a huge believer that FOIA is for all the public and should be used by all. But local journalists have played a pivotal role in the law's development and use. What does that look like now that local journalism is dying? Read more here 👇
#CT’s #FOIA went into effect on October 1, 1975. In the intervening 50 years, enforcement of the law has evolved significantly, helping to refine and codify the public’s right of access not only to public records, but to public meetings. Read ➡️ https://t.co/bBiHp16XI6
