Workforce & Aviation Training: Bombardier kicked off its FastTrack program at its Hartford Service Center at Bradley, launching a first cohort of 11 trainees and partnering with CT Aero Tech to speed up FAA Airframe/Powerplant certification. Local Governance: Richmond will shift Town Hall hours starting June 29, cutting Fridays and adding evening access Tuesdays. Education Funding: New Haven is set to receive about $23 million in extra state aid to close a school budget gap and reduce a planned property tax increase, with plans to protect staffing and expand crisis response supports. Sports Business: A new federal bill, backed by Sen. Chris Murphy, would bar private equity from investing in youth sports—aiming to curb rising participation costs and “junk fees.” Privacy & Surveillance: Lawmakers across the country are pushing new guardrails on license-plate camera data sharing as concerns grow about long-term tracking. Arts & Community: Connecticut’s America 250 plans are taking shape, but organizers say funding is still uneven as local groups do much of the heavy lifting.
