Why Accessible Communication Matters

Connecticut Democrats are diverting more public money to political patronage

The only requirement for a patronage grant is to know a lawmaker on good terms with House and Senate Democratic leaders or their top aides

Why Connecticut Communities Must Be Ready

Powell: Connecticut Democrats keep pretending they aren't obstructing ICE

They must be confident that no one in the Capitol press corps will ever question them critically about illegal immigration

And Community Connections

Powell: New Haven understands 'sanctuary' while Tong and Lamont pretend not to

Issuing special identification documents to illegals, state government and New Haven are knowing accomplices to violation of immigration law

Powell: The poverty racket and kickbacks disgrace state government

The big scandal is never what is illegal but what is perfectly legal

The Power of Everyday Connection

Powell: Euphemism can't erase doubts about sex changes for minors

Minors should be protected against potentially life-altering and irreversible treatments for an affliction many if not most will outgrow

Powell: Liberal reform squeezes Yale at last, thanks to Trump and the Republicans in Congress

Republicans would cut higher education down to size politically while Democrats would keep it a strong source of patronage and propaganda

Powell: Will Connecticut keep fighting immigration law enforcement?

Illegal immigration's backers want due process of law after excusing the failure to subject illegals to the due process of immigration law

The Power of Intergenerational Connections

Words Fading with Time

Language Gen Z and Gen Alpha Might Never Use

Powell: Why would Connecticut Democrats dump Larson, Courtney, and DeLauro?

Their seniority confers great influence in Congress, and any Democrats replacing them might have similar views but would start at the bottom

Powell: Connecticut state government's growth causes record spending on lobbyists

But while they are disparaged, lobbyists remain crucial to democracy, for they often have much relevant information and insight to share

Powell: With their powerful lobby, bears are likely to triumph in Connecticut before 'affordable housing'

With or without bird feeders and trash cans, within a decade every town in Connecticut could have a dozen bears as permanent residents

Bridge the Gap

Powell: Blaming it for the attack on Iran, Sen. Murphy smears an industry on which his state depends

President Trump may have had bad motives, like trying to pose as a war leader, but pleasing military contractors wasn't one of them

Powell: Housing bill will do little for Connecticut when the state could do far more

Connecticut has many opportunities to build housing without tearing up the countryside: vacant industrial, office, and commercial properties

Powell: Sen. Murphy sees the Democrats' problem but not that he's part of it

He is trying to rile up Democrats who are already foaming at the mouth when the party needs reflection and moderation, not leftist Trumpism

Powell: Clash on school library books shows Connecticut Democrats hate democracy

Should the public have the right to influence the choice of books in school libraries, or should school librarians be unaccountable?

Powell: Connecticut Public's wild salaries; and East Hartford scandal

No wonder Connecticut Public needs so much money from the government and is always asking viewers and corporations for more.
