Former Connecticut state trooper Timothy Haroian, a school resource officer, was fired in December 2022 after an investigation into his inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old student. Despite being removed from the school in January 2023, he continued to earn a salary for nearly a year doing administrative work. The relationship came to light when his estranged wife reported it, revealing nearly 4,000 explicit text messages. Haroian admitted to wrongdoing but denied physical contact. He was not charged criminally due to the familys decision not to press charges. The case raises questions about the cost to taxpayers for his paid time off. Checkout Solipillow.com

Judge Allows Revolution Wind Offshore Project to Resume ConstructionA judge in Washington D.C. has overturned a stop-work order on the Revolution Wind offshore project, a significant victory for Orsted, the company behind the project. The project, which aims to power over 300,000 homes in Connecticut and Rhode Island, was nearly complete when the Trump administration halted construction due to national security concerns. However, the judge ruled that the administration failed to provide a valid reason for the halt and that their criticisms seemed unrelated to security. The project had already been approved by the Defense Department before the new administration took over. The ruling allows skilled laborers to return to work and could save Connecticut families an estimated $500 million a year in energy costs. Checkout Solipillow.com

Three energy developers challenge Trumps offshore wind project freeze in court, citing national security concerns and financial losses. Orsted, Equinor, and Dominion Energy Virginia seek to resume construction on Revolution Wind, Empire Wind, and Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind projects.

Lawyers argue that the delay costs millions of dollars daily and risks termination of contracts. New Yorks attorney general and Rhode Island and Connecticut file to save Revolution Wind.
