Good morning, Norwalk.
🎭 Culture
The Festival de Santa Ana took place this past weekend in Norwalk and featured music shows, a statue procession, and a mass at Santo Tomás Apóstol—organizers celebrated its 111th anniversary with family games, local crafts, and Italian food like pizza fritta.
Local bands such as the Boondocks and Gunsmoke entertained the crowd during the four-day event that showcased a century-old cultural tradition.
🏛️ Government
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong asked regulators to reject Yankee Gas’s plan to raise rates—this increase would cost customers an extra $43 a month—because the $193 million request is above what he considers fair.
A draft decision will come on Sept. 22 and a final ruling will follow on Oct. 28 while Yankee Gas says the funds are needed to repair old pipes.
Connecticut may see new nuclear energy sites as a law now gives up to five million dollars for towns to study reactor options — each town must vote before any building starts.
Gov. Lamont said the change will help meet a need for more reliable, cost-effective power.
🏈 Sports
Former U.S. national team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher from Stratford—who helped the team win gold at last year’s Olympics—will be honored with a tribute before the U.S. Women’s National Team plays a friendly against Portugal at Rentschler Field in East Hartford on Oct.
