we know that in connecticut. that's 70% of jobs are going to require some degree beyond a high school diploma by 2025. that's that's a lot of jobs that we're not currently prepared to fill it means we need 300,000 more college graduates over the next few years. so in order to get more students to enroll and at their local campus and to get that degree we decided to tear down the barrier of affordability and in the short term, it's going to change a lot of lives for young people because they're going to be able to get that degree and get a higher paying job and become a connecticut taxpayer. and by the way if they go to community college, they're more likely to stick around in connecticut. so those are short-term wins but in the long term the advanced manufacturing company that's in my district that struggles to fill job openings because they can't find a young diverse tech-savvy workforce in connecticut. we're now going to be churning out more graduates who are going to fill those jobs and that's a long-term win

they settled in new haven connecticut came back to connecticut. and for a year or so she continued to work with the refugee agency, but it's headquarters were up in new york and she got tired of the commute. so she quit. and what looking for other work, but she had a kind of particular skill set as an administrator that wasn't an enormous demand for a woman in new haven connecticut in 19 nearly 1950. so it took her about a year or two to get a job finally in 1953. she got a job that she thought would be interesting. she was hired as the executive director of the connecticut branch of planned parenthood. the nation's leading advocate for birth control. now she said afterwards. no idea about birth control. when she took this job. she didn't know where to diaphragm was. she thought that work could be interesting and she hadn't been the strait of skills. the work turned out to be very very interesting. in the late 19th century any number of states had passed laws. trying to prohibit in one way or another birth control. and connecticut was one of two s

the governor from connecticut saying that we have made considerable progress and people from connecticut have many tools to keep them safe that is why as of february 28 mask mandates will be decided by the school districts and not the states. our commissioners at the public health department and education department discussed it at length and we arrived in the decision together. the governor of connect --connecticut making his announcement at the same time as the governor of delaware and new jersey. these moves happening across the country and we are getting your reaction this morning. next from's bow can, washington. caller: i can't believe we ever put these kids in masks. masks are very ineffective in the spread of this disease. children were never at risk of dying at this disease unless they had underlying conditions. the whole thing was insane as far as i am concerned. host: do you have kids? caller: they are grown. the damage we have done to our children keeping them out of school and then making them wear masks. it is insane. host: washington is one of those states that made that a

connecticut -- covid is not different in connecticut. this is not making any sense. the decision makers are so callous they throw us away. it is a mask. it's just a mask you are told constantly. it doesn't make any sense. >> harris: covid is not different in connecticut. so true. a new study finds -- you mention the need for more science on this. a new study finds that children have a more difficult time recognizing faces that are masked than adults. study's author says if holistic processing is impaired and recognition is impaired, there is a possibility it could impair children's ability to navigate through social interactions with their peers and teachers. this could lead to issues forming important relationships. given the importance of faces to social interactions, this is something we need to pay attention to and added in on that study jennifer is our children could lose their sense of empathy toward one another. you have a young one. you are witnessing some of this. >> of course. this is how we communicate. our faces, our smiles. it is how we judge somebody's

connecticut, delaware, new jersey, oregon. specific lines set aside for people in those states to get your reaction. cindy, good morning. >> caller: good morning. hi. i do support lifting the mask mandate i think governor lamont has been pretty even handed throughout this whole thing. but it is an election year for him. i do believe some of this is political. the cdc has been wrong on a lot of stuff. why we should do this ahead of the cdc guidelines i'm not so sure. i think they've done studies, but they squashed them because they didn't get the results they wanted. but i do approve -- >> what makes you think they're squashing studies, cindy? where are you seeing that? >> caller: i did see a report today how they canned a study in june of 2021 because it wasn't getting the results that they wanted, which was, you know, to promote the mandate. you know, there's a lot of other countries seem to be way ahead of us on a lot of things. i don't think we're doing the randomized studs a that we should be doing. with that being said, i

when we come to the senate, the presiding officer, the junior senator from connecticut knows this, you are not given a little sheet that says here's what you do here. you vote yes, check the box yes, no or i don't think i'm going to work today i'm going to have boycotted the vote. you vote yes or no. they really don't have the right to just decide i'm going to go home and not work today to work on a boycott for this vote. so we took an informal vote, all 12 of us voted and would have confirmed overwhelmingly. i don't argue that we are always bipartisan, but pretty much all of us show up and cast votes. i'm sure they've learned from their text books, i'm sure they watch us here and think i don't like that senator much, he's a nice guy but devotes whatever, but they also know we take positions. yes or no and the last thing and i will i yield the floor, so may after day and it's a problem we have to address and of course they blame president biden for everything. they talk about inflation but then at a time when we actually could address the problems with inflation, one of the most import

however, connecticut family farms are struggling. consolidation in the dairy industry has hit us hard, leaving connecticut with fewer than 100 remaining dairy farms, having lost nearly 200 in the past decade. my questions today are for ms. burroughs. given that you run a diversified sustainable farm similar to those in my district, can you share details about the effect of consolidation on the uptick of sustainable practices throughout the livestock sector? specifically, what are the implications that larger operations pose for the adoption of sustainability measure? ms. burroughs: thank you, representative hayes, for the question. it is -- i think it's the key to our future to have the ranchers and farmers and grazers that are able to utilize their farms and ranches in a way that protects the environment and brings health to the planet. there are more microbes in one teaspoon of healthy soil than there are people on the planet. and these microbes, with the symbiotic relationship between animal grazing and the land, they create the w

more people moved into connecticut than out of connecticut over the last three years. >> yeah. can you explain that? because when i left everybody was leaving and you -- in my hometown, which i absolutely love and i am coming back, there were for sale signs everywhere. now, as it is across most of the country, it is hard to find a house. there are in most parts of connecticut -- and this was really right after covid broke. is that because a lot of people are leaving new york city and deciding to go back to connecticut? >> look, that's some of it. let's face it. during covid the idea that you could have a little backyard outside if you had to quarantine, i think the connecticut lifestyle took on a new meaning. as you know, we kept our schools open while a lot of other schools were closed. i think that made a difference. we have as big a tax differential with new york city as we had before the income tax. it is a good time. look, we are only as successful as new york city, so we're part of the same ecosystem. we are cheering each other on. >> connecticut governor ned lam

so they're basically following the connecticut river valley moving up into new hampshire and then across into what will be vermont. so he describes the various towns and peoples of this trek. they move out in three divisions, essentially. what would have been three battalions within the regiment itself as they saw it moving up first through to springfield, massachusetts at springfield hawkins records at daybreak on 14 april all three divisions, march out followed by a baggage tree. he records eight wagons 21 teams. 21 teams to be pulling these wagons. those have got to be really heavy wagons and they definitely are because what's on them loaded with spades shovels axes picks carbines horseman's swords pistols and other military stores carpenters tools armorers tools provisions. they are out to really cut this road and they're taking all the tools with them. so think for a minute what that would look like. to the communities through which this baggage train is going with these soldiers in these three divisions. who may not have seen a lot of soldiers up to this point? but they are moving

if there from pennsylvania, jersey, connecticut, maryland, which is where they're trying to recruit. and in the middle of that, certainly by the end of 76 going into 77, we see then the advertisements going out, the recruiting going out, for congress's own regiment. this is not something that necessarily congress had organized or authorized, it came out of the regiment itself. i think it probably came from lieutenant colonel edward antill who was a part of this, he was more of a thinker then moses hazen, quite frankly. i see haze and as the proulx galas, he was really rather irritating as a purse -- his commanding officer saw him like that. certainly general knocks at the end of it who said that this man was blessed with some of the most obstinate tempers he'd ever seen. but it is the kind of temper that this regiment continued an action through the rest of the war. amongbut given this it starts g up recording to new for congress [inaudible] and you can see what's going on here. you can't wait for a second canadian among all of them, but you can for congress but's guard. here is scot
