An environmental group has sued four Connecticut municipalities for violating the state’s clean water act.

New Haven-based Save the Sound has filed lawsuits against Ridgefield, Redding, Middletown and Burlington. The suits allege the municipalities failed to properly report the required paperwork tracking their storm water systems over the last three years.

These towns were chosen for the lawsuit because they had storm water systems that flow into a number of rivers and streams that are already threatened by pollution.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
