Gov. Malloy and Lt. Gov. Wyman Statements on Decision by Congresswoman Esty to Not Seek Re-Election 04/02/2018 Gov. Malloy and Lt. Gov. Wyman Statements on Decision by Congresswoman Esty to Not Seek Re-Election (HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman released the following statements regarding the announcement made this afternoon by Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty that she will not seek re-election this fall: Governor Malloy said, “Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty’s decision not to run for another term is the right one. She has done important work on behalf of her constituents on gun safety, economic development, and much more. I spoke with the Congresswoman multiple times over the weekend and as recently as today, encouraging full transparency with the press and public, and also urging her to do what is in best interest of her constituents and her family. I believe she is now doing that. The truth is, too many facts about how this incident was handled fall short of appropriate standards for responsible and responsive leadership. Fostering a safe and supportive workplace culture for staff must be a guiding principle for all managers, and especially all elected officials, from local office all the way up to the President.” Lt. Governor Wyman said, “I think this is the right decision and I thank Congresswoman Esty for her many years of service to the residents of the fifth district and the State of Connecticut.” Twitter: @GovMalloyOffice Facebook: Office of Governor Dannel P. Malloy 04/02/2018 Gov. Malloy and Commissioner Klee Blast Trump Administration Decision to Weaken Tailpipe Emissions and Fuel Efficiency Standards (HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Commissioner Rob Klee are criticizing a decision announced today by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to roll-back greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards for automobiles. “As we have seen too often from the Trump administration, the EPA’s announcement today again abdicates its leadership role on climate, energy and the environment,” Governor Malloy said. “States have long led the way on many important issues, including climate change. President Trump is once again putting the interests of big business ahead of the health and economic interests of the American people. This shortsighted decision will lead to decreasing fuel efficiency, which means more frequent stops at the gas station and higher gas bills for Connecticut drivers. We will continue to work with California and other like-minded states to safeguard the protections provided by the federal Clean Air Act and the Advanced Clean Car program.” “Human-induced climate change is the most significant environmental issue we face today, and taking action now to mitigate the most damaging impacts of climate change offers one of the greatest opportunities for reshaping, reenergizing, and transforming our economy to create the green jobs and green industries of the future,” Commissioner Klee said. “While this administration may actively try to prevent states from exerting their sovereign rights to fill the void created by federal inaction, we will continue to do our part as a national leader to reduce carbon emissions that contribute to climate change, and look forward to a time when our federal government again allows science and not the demands of the auto industry to drive the important goals and objectives of the advanced clean cars program.” California is allowed to set their own motor vehicle tailpipe standards in recognition of their unique air quality challenges and of their early efforts that pre-dated the federal Clean Air Act. Connecticut and 11 other states are authorized to adopt California’s standards under section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act provided U.S. EPA first issues a waiver to California under section 209 of the federal Clean Air Act indicating California’s standards are at least as stringent as federal standards. The standards at issue are part of a broader agreement made in 2012 among the State of California, U.S. EPA, U.S. DOT/NHSTA and the major auto manufacturers. Under this agreement, California and the federal government agreed to harmonize state and federal tailpipe emission standards for greenhouse gases with federal fuel efficiency standards. The State of California agreed to find vehicles certified as meeting the federal tailpipe standards as being deemed in compliance with the California standards (also adopted by 12 other states, and when combined represent 35% of the national light duty vehicle market). The agreement included a mid-term evaluation during which California assessed three elements of the clean cars program: the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) regulation, the one milligram per mile (mg/mi) particulate matter (PM) standard, and the light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas standards for 2022 and later model years. U.S. EPA agreed to conduct a similar review of the standards for model year 2022-25. California’s technical staff worked with U.S. EPA and NHTSA to review the federal light-duty greenhouse gas standards for 2022 through 2025 model years. This review included collaborating on a second joint Technical Assessment Report (TAR) to re-assess the technical assumptions and analysis used to develop the greenhouse gas standards. The Draft (Joint) TAR was published for public comment in July 2016. After reviewing public comments, U.S. EPA updated their analysis and published for public comment in November 2016 a Proposed Determination that the 2022 through 2025 federal standards remain as adopted. Subsequent to a review of public comment, U.S. EPA concluded their midterm evaluation and published a Final Determination in January 2017 that affirmed the existing federal greenhouse gas standards would remain as adopted. In March 2017, EPA rescinded the Final Determination, and announced that a “new” Final Determination would be published by April 1, 2018. Twitter: @GovMalloyOffice Facebook: Office of Governor Dannel P. Malloy 04/03/2018 Gov. Malloy Nominates Judge Ingrid L Moll to Appellate Court (HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that he is nominating Superior Court Judge Ingrid L. Moll of West Hartford to fill a vacancy on the Appellate Court. “Since 2014, Judge Moll has served on the Superior Court with distinction,” Governor Malloy said. “She will bring with her a great amount of experience and competence to the Appellate Court.” “I thank Governor Malloy for nominating me to serve on the Appellate Court,” Judge Moll said. “It is an honor and privilege to have this opportunity. If I am confirmed, I will work every day to prove myself worthy of this important position.” Judge Moll became a judge of the Superior Court in April 2014, after having been nominated by Governor Malloy and approved by the General Assembly. Prior to her appointment to the bench, Judge Moll was a member of the Hartford law firm Motley Rice LLC. She worked as a law clerk for the Honorable David M. Borden of the Connecticut Supreme Court from 1999 to 2001. She received Bachelor of Arts degrees in political science and French from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois in 1995 and a Juris Doctor with honors from the University of Connecticut School of Law in 1999. Twitter: @GovMalloyOffice Facebook: Office of Governor Dannel P. Malloy 04/03/2018 Gov. Malloy Statement on Judiciary Committee Passage of Bump Stock Ban (HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy released the following statement in response to the Judiciary Committee’s passage of House Bill 5542, An Act Concerning Bump Stocks and Other Means of Enhancing the Rate of Fire of a Firearm, which closely mirrors legislation introduced earlier this session by Governor Malloy (Senate Bill 18) that was referred to the Public Safety and Security Committee but did not receive a vote prior that committee’s deadline. “Make no mistake, this is a step in the right direction,” Governor Malloy said. “As we have heard – loud and clear – from students and activists in recent weeks, Connecticut cannot afford to sit back while Congress continues to capitulate to the demands of the NRA while ignoring the demands of the vast majority of the American people. The legislation passed today is the definition of common sense. These cheap and deadly devices – which allow weapons to fire at machine gun-like speeds – have no place in our society. It is truly unfortunate that some Republicans are so beholden to the NRA that they won’t even support this no-brainer bill.” Similar bills have passed with bipartisan support and have been signed into law by Republican governors in Massachusetts, Florida, and New Jersey. Twitter: @GovMalloyOffice Facebook: Office of Governor Dannel P. Malloy 04/03/2018 Gov. Malloy Nominates Eleven Connecticut Residents to Fill Judicial Vacancies on the Superior Court (HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that he is nominating eleven state residents to fill vacancies for judgeships on the Connecticut Superior Court. While these nominations represent only a fraction of the 42 vacancies that currently exist in the Superior Court, these judges will provide critical judicial capacity in performing the essential duties of the court system. “Selecting nominees to fill vacancies in our court system is one of the most important duties that a governor performs – they must possess the qualities that build a stronger, fairer Connecticut for everyone in the long-run,” Governor Malloy said. “I believe that each of these women and men will bring to the bench the diverse qualities that mirror the people of our state while also meeting the high principles and integrity that our citizens deserve.” In addition to those announced today, the Governor intends to announce further judicial nominations for the Superior Court in the coming days. Governor Malloy’s nominations for the Superior Court include: Barbara D. Aaron of West Hartford: Aaron is a partner at Berman, Bourns, Aaron & Dembo LLC in Hartford, where since 2000 she has focused her practice on mediation and collaborative divorce, serving clients who are interested in resolving their cases in a confidential, respectful, and efficient process.

We feel there have been many positive changes impacting thousands of individuals who have returned home or been diverted from incarceration. Connecticut is leading the way when it comes to these reforms. With that being said, the CT Reentry Collaborative, a stakeholder in this process, is concerned about the continuity of this progress with the introduction of new executive branch administration that may be wholly unfamiliar with the current strategic objectives and strategies for reform.

  • Annual Report 2020
    STATE OF CONNECTICUT Results First Policy Oversight Committee Annual Report 2020 INSTITUTE FOR MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL POLICY Central Connecticut State University December 1, 2020 In 2013, the General Assembly created the Results First Policy Oversight Committee to oversee and guide the Pew-MacArthur Results First Initiative in Connecticut. This project started in March 2011 to apply cost-benefit analysis to state policy and budget decisions. The project staff of the Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy (IMRP) at Central Connecticut State University initially worked with the Judicial Branch’s Court Support Services Division, and the departments of Correction, Mental Health and Addiction Services, and Children and Families to implement Results First in Connecticut. Since then, the Department of Social Services has been added to the covered agencies. State law requires: (1) five specified state agencies to submit their respective program inventories annually and (2) the Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy (IMRP) to publish an annual benefit- cost analyses report of programs identified in the inventories. Agencies and legislators making policy and budget decisions are encouraged to use program inventories and the resulting benefit- cost analyses to allocate resources, prioritize program offerings, and improve program effectiveness and outcomes. In 2019, three of the five required agencies submitted program inventories (the Judicial Branch’s Court Support Services Division [JB-CSSD], the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and the Department of Correction [DOC]). The departments of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) and Social Services (DSS) did not. Both DMHAS and DSS have previously indicated an interest in working with IMRP to pursue this effort.

WIRTH, Plaintiffs, v. 3:15-cv-1528 JOETTE KATZ, ELIZABETH FERREIRA, TOWN OF GLASTONBURY, JAMES A. KENNEDY, and MARCH 3, 2017 WILLIAM TRANTALIS, Defendants. RULING ON MOTIONS TO DISMISS HAIGHT, Senior District Judge: Plaintiffs commenced this civil rights action in Connecticut Superior Court. Defendants removed the case to this Court. Federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 stems from Plaintiffs' claims that their rights conferred by the United States Constitution were violated by Defendants' conduct. Plaintiffs assert that Defendants acted under color of state law, giving rise to this Court's original subject matter jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1331. Plaintiffs also allege state law claims, which fall within this Court's pendent jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1367. An Amended Complaint [Doc. 33] (sometimes hereinafter "AC") is the operative pleading. All Defendants now move to dismiss the Amended Complaint pursuant to Rule12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiffs resist those motions. This Ruling resolves them. 1 Case 3:15-cv-01528-CSH Document Filed 03/03/17 Page 2 of 75 I. INTRODUCTION During the pertinent times, Plaintiffs George S.
