Deport Students Whose University Moves Classes Online?
Hartford, CT - Attorney General William Tong issued the following statement on ICE's proposed rule change that would force international students to leave the country if their universities move classes online.

The University of Connecticut, our flagship state school, hosts around 3,700 international students from dozens of countries. That's roughly 13 percent of the student body.

Tong On Tranny Accounts
Hartford, CT – Attorney General William Tong this week led a coalition of attorneys general, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the Office of Consumer Counsel, and the Maine Ratepayer Advocate urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reject unnecessary and unjust incentive payments to transmission developers. FERC issued a draft rulemaking in March proposing a series of generous new transmission incentives, including extra payments for basic measures that transmission developers are already doing, such as joining mandatory regional transmission organizations.

The coalition…
