Insurance Regulators
Connecticut insurance regulators are still waiting - one week after a suggested deadline - for insurers to file proposed rates on health plans they intend to sell on the state’s public exchange later this year. Read more Still Waiting On Rates 911 Is No Joke That’s what Americans for Prosperity want you to think. The group teamed up with Tim Stewart, the former Republican Mayor of New Britain, to beat back a proposal pitched by Democratic Mayor Tim O’Brien back in 2012. AFP, an organization founded by the Koch Brothers, bought time with local Comcast subscribers to air the ad. There’s legislation pending that would make it against the law to charge anyone a user fee or service charge for making, in good faith, any 9-1-1 calls for emergency services. The proposal doesn’t prohibit assessing anyone for costs they incur in providing such services. View the ad hereSenate OKs The Senate has passed a bill that could end tax-free shopping on the Internet for many shoppers. The Senate voted 69 to 27 Monday to pass the bill, sending it to the House where it faces opposition from some lawmakers who regard it as a tax increase. Read moreOnline Sales Tax Legislation |

Malloy Attends
He didn’t tell us ahead of time, but we spotted Gov. Malloy laughing it up on C-SPAN’s coverage of the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Malloy hobnobbed with celebrities, reporters, and politicos at the event that took place Saturday night. You can see him laughing at the joke about Buzzfeed around the 8:24 mark. Malloy was not the only governor to be spied by C-SPAN: New Jersey’s Gov. Chris Christy was also in the crowd. Check out the president’s speech here and see if you can spot the governorWhite House Correspondents’ Dinner Legislate Utility Service, Not Profits The Norwich Bulletin’s Ray Hackett says “no” to the state’s plan to sell your electric service.

View the footage hereReporter Chris Keating and Republican blogger William Landers offered their take on the Cafero interview and the Republican gubernatorial field. Neither had anything Earth shattering to share, but Keating is expecting a crowded Republican primary field. View the interviews here |
