"The AI Bill That Connecticut Really Needs"

Legislators are right to be concerned about the recent advances in AI. But they may be missing what we actually need to confront this moment - a commitment to workforce development, education, and helping our businesses adapt and grow, along with a stronger social safety net.

CT should capitalize on AI to 'grow our economy and strengthen our workforce,' a SCSU professor writes.

New Haven lost a great one. I love this man, he had such a big heart.

I first met Celestino Cordova when I was running for Mayor last year and I was seeking the Democratic town committee endorsement (Celestino was the 15th ward co-chair). Our first conversation lasted 3 hours!

This man was full of ideas on how to improve New Haven. I recorded a video of his thoughts on vocational education, expanding tourism through the ports and the Quinnipiac River, and other economic development ideas.

He asked me to promise him two things if I became Mayor - to help bring back a Puerto Rican cultural parade, and to establish a monument to honor the Puerto Rican veterans of the Korean War, which Celestino received the Congressional Gold Medal for. I still think this is something the city should do - Mayor Justin Elicker, Rosa DeLauro, Senate President Martin Looney, Gary Winfield, State Representative Juan Candelaria, State Representative Al Paolillo.

I approached Celestino for his vote, but I gained a friend in the process. I would check in with him several times after the election, and he was always supportive of what I was trying to do and I always felt energized after talking with him. My deepest condolences to the Cordova family, and the many, many people who came to know and love Celestino.
