AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Student Loans Fight: AG William Tong is suing the U.S. Department of Education over a new rule that narrows “professional degree” eligibility and could cut off federal loan access for many advanced programs—an issue he says will worsen Connecticut’s workforce shortages. Gas Prices & Budgets: Memorial Day travel is getting pricier as fuel costs stay elevated, with AAA citing the Iran-related risk premium; the squeeze hits lower-income and rural households hardest and could also dent state transportation revenue. Healthcare Pressure in CT: Hartford Hospital’s emergency department averaged 8.9 hours of wait time in 2025, among the worst in the country, as Hartford HealthCare pushes a major $1B campus overhaul to relieve overcrowding. Local Business & Growth: ROMTech’s PortableConnect won a MedTech Breakthrough award for home physical therapy with clinician telemonitoring. Community Updates: Newtown Community Center is adding a basketball court (June 2026) and plans a splash pad opening in 2027.
