The Courant reported the news coming out of the report on the CT DOT. Broken is quite the understatement and the consensus summary. From The Courant,
The commission concluded, in the words of member Larry McHugh, that the DOT is “broken.” Its report recommends about 30 immediate and long-term changes that members say will refocus management, make it more responsive to the public and reverse the low esteem in which the public holds the agency.

The Advocate leads with a story about the new parking policy in Stamford. Street meters are now being enforced till 10 pm, where previously they stopped at 6 PM. Needless to point out, residents and restaurants are unhappy about the situation. From the Advocate:
Signs are posted on the meters with the new hours, but Director of Operations Ben Barnes said the city will issue warnings instead of tickets for the first few weeks.
“We are going to go easy on enforcement for a period of time so folks have an opportunity to adjust,” Barnes said.
