CULTURE NEWS

GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ A bipartisan group of Westport town officials has urged Governor Ned Lamont to veto HB 5002 because they say the omnibus housing bill risks local governance and the state economy by allowing as-of-right conversion of commercial properties and requiring municipalities to cover developers' legal fees. The signers noted that Westport has already expanded housing access through a $1 million affordable housing fund and a downtown shelter — and they now await the governor’s decision. 06880
