AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Student Loan Lawsuit Wave: Connecticut Attorney General William Tong is backing a multistate push to block a new U.S. Education Department rule that narrows which healthcare degrees qualify for higher federal loan limits—arguing it will worsen nurse and other workforce shortages. Police Accountability: In Hartford, former officer Joseph Magnano has been charged with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Steven Jones during a mental health crisis, with investigators saying he failed to de-escalate or use non-lethal force. CT Health Tech: ROMTech, based in Brookfield, says its PortableConnect home rehab system won a MedTech Breakthrough Award for “Best Home Health Care Solution.” Open Government: Southbury held a Freedom of Information Commission meeting for board and commission members, highlighting a surge in complaints. Community Health & Safety: Norwalk scientists are running a shellfish water flow study with dye to assess local harvesting areas. Health Care Workforce Funding Fight: Multiple states also sued over limits on loans for nurses, PAs, therapists, and related programs.
