A potential tax break for Connecticut’s shellfishermen sailed through the state Senate last week, though the effort quickly raised questions about the potential loss of revenue to communities along the coast.

RENO, Nev.
The U.S. Forest Service is proposing a five-fold increase in the number of miles of trails open to certain electric bikes in the forests surrounding Lake Tahoe.
The proposal by the service’s Lake Basin Management Unit covering parts of six counties in California and Nevada would add 120 miles (193 kilometers) to the current 25 that allow such access, not including dirt roads, among the total 385 miles (619 km) of trails.
“This project is our effort at being proactive and managing e-bikes,” said Jacob Quinn, engineering technician for the unit.
Many of the public comments they’ve received are from users who are older or with various levels of mobility who say e-bikes have allowed them to continue recreating as their mobility has changed, he told the Reno Gazette Journal. A final decision should be made by the end of the year.
