As a business reporter, I write about small businesses opening and closing, manufacturing, food and drink, labor issues and economic data. I particularly love writing about the impact of state and federal policy on local businesses. I also do some education reporting, covering colleges in southeastern Connecticut and regional K-12 issues.

HARTFORD â An advisory panel to Gov. Ned Lamont wrestled Tuesday with thorny, life-or-death questions about which essential workers and vulnerable populations to recommend be vaccinated next against COVID-19.
Panel members agreed staff and residents of congregate settings such as prisons, homeless shelters and group homes should be included in the next vaccination round. They also proposed to add some more classes of critical workers.
The allocation subcommittee of the Governor’s COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Group was unable reach consensus on other groups, including people under the age of 65 with underlying health risks; racial and ethnic minority communities at increased risk from COVID-19; and individuals with intellectual and developmental disorders and their uncompensated caretakers.
