Summarization
Paging @NewsTimes, a story proposal is to be pitched involving a 30 home apartment building rejected in Bethel in exchange for a 42 home, income-restricted housing development. @MikeLawlor explains Connecticut's Red Flag Law, which mandates anyone with restraining order to give up guns within 24 hours. A TOD plan in Bethel has caused growth in population, and 8 of the top 10 highest paid employees are from the police force. Further, Michelle Smith opened an independent bookstore and former UConn basketball star Katie Lou Samuelson will have a child in August. Lastly, the difference between Florida and Connecticut is discussed.
