NORWALK, CT Touting it as a way to help improve the quality of life in the area, local and state political leaders, and local civic leaders, Thursday praised a state investment of $3 million to upgrade the infrastructure along the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive corridor in South Norwalk.
Called the MLK Corridor Initiative, the community planning and development program is a national effort that looks to improve many of the streets, avenues, drives and boulevards named after the civil rights icon. There are more than 900 streets named after Dr. King across 41 states, and many are located in urban and inner city areas that have been financially neglected.

NORWALK, Conn. Ralph Suarez Santos and Robert Pascarelli are on the warpath about what they describe as intolerable conditions at Cedar Court Senior Housing – bedbugs, rats, water that’s brown, water that is too cool for a soothing bath or to wash dishes well.
Other residents, who decline to be identified, downplayed the bedbug problem, blaming it on a resident who has too much stuff in her apartment and saying management has “sprayed and sprayed.” They also described poor water quality and temperature but were chiefly upset about drug deals happening in the parking lot at night. There are rats by the garbage bin, but a resident’s cat has been known to kill them, they said.
Big Tech is pushing states to pass privacy laws, and yes, you should be suspicious
Concerned about growing momentum behind efforts to regulate the commercial use of personal data, Big Tech has begun seeding watered-down âprivacyâ legislation in states with the goal of preempting greater protections, experts say.
The swift passage in March of a consumer data privacy law in Virginia, which Protocol reported was originally authored by Amazon with input from Microsoft, is emblematic of an industry-driven, lobbying-fueled approach taking hold across the country. The Markup reviewed existing and proposed legislation, committee testimony, and lobbying records in more than 20 states and identified 14Â states with privacy bills built upon the same industry-backed framework as Virginiaâs, or with weaker models. The bills are backed by a whoâs who of Big Techâfunded interest groups and are being shepherded through statehouses by waves of company lobbyists.
