AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoConnecticut Politics & Business: CT voters head to the polls in two closely watched Democratic primaries—one for governor (Gov. Ned Lamont vs. Josh Elliott) and one for the 1st Congressional District (Rep. John Larson vs. Luke Bronin and others)—with campaign spending and generational/ideology clashes front and center. Gaming & Regulation: A federal court denied Kalshi’s bid to block Connecticut’s gaming regulators, keeping the state’s ability to regulate prediction-market sports contracts alive for now. Energy & Federal Funding: Connecticut’s energy research funding hit a political snag, with the U.S. Department of Energy acknowledging it canceled grants “based solely” on whether recipients were in “blue” states, including $52.9 million tied to CT projects. Workforce & Opportunity: A new push highlights CT’s workforce crisis as a talent pipeline problem, arguing young people remain disconnected from education and jobs despite employer hiring struggles. Local Food Security: Wilton Food Pantry demand has more than doubled since 2018, and the community is being asked to step up as summer donations lag. Healthcare Costs: A broader look at small-group insurer filings shows many are seeking double-digit premium increases for 2027, driven by rising medical costs and utilization.
