More masks. More tests. The option to go remote — just for a few weeks until the Covid-19 Omicron-variant surge passes.
Teachers are pressing those requests at a statewide “wear-black” event planned for Wednesday. Some students and board members joined in those requests at Monday night’s New Haven Board of Education meeting. And New Haven teachers union President Leslie Blatteau went into depth on the issue — and its place in the current national political dialogue — during a Tuesday radio appearance.

Joining the “Municipal Voice,” a co-production of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities and WNHH 103.5 FM, Major Charles Adams gave us a history lesson behind these traditions, as well as the good work that they continue to do in New Haven and beyond.

Vowing to fight for voting rights and help her party attract the state’s growing Latino population, Hilda Santiago stopped “exploring” Thursday — and officially announced her candidacy for secretary of the state.

On average, more than 480,000 people in the state of Connecticut rely on food banks each year.
Despite our reputation as one of the richest states in the richest countries in the world, there are still pockets of poverty, and many families don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Jason Jakubowski, President and CEO of Connecticut Foodshare, joined “The Municipal Voice,” a co-production of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities and WNHHFM, to discuss hunger in our state, its effects, and what his organization is doing about it. (Watch the full episode in the above video.)
Thankful for 90 Thanksgivings, ready for the next 90: Bitsie Clark.

It’s a common refrain – Connecticut is overshadowed by the Boston and New York metro areas. But is our restaurant scene overlooked?
For Scott Dolch, executive director of the Connecticut Restaurant Association, the obvious answer is yes. He joined the WNHHFM’s “Municipal Voice” program, hosted and produced by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, to talk about the state of our restaurants and rebuilding after the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was a night with news of change coming to Hamden and new energy on New Haven’s Board of Alders — and a special edition of “LoveBabz Love Talk” to track down what it all meant in real time.
Upper Westville candidates Van Hoesen and Brackeen this week at WNHH FM: Both are vaxxed.
One candidate handed out assignments to dozens of neighbors: Here’s your street. Here are the doors to knock on. Here are flyers to hand out. Let us know who’s voting.
At another end of the ward, the other candidate set out to meet voters as well. Alone.
