Today's riddle: What do evil hens lay? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 'Beautifully Maintained' Home Hits The Market In Stratford (patch.com) — House hunters in Stratford can now check out a well-kept ranch on Quenby Place offering over 2,500 square feet, three bedrooms, and three-plus baths. Listed at $609,900, it features hardwood floors, a sun-filled living room with gas fireplace, and a dining room that opens to a deck for easy indoor-outdoor living.
2. Stratford Schools Receive Special Education Grant (patch.com) — Families in Stratford will see a boost to local special education services thanks to a new $350,000 state grant awarded under Connecticut's High-Quality Special Education Incentive program. The funding will help the district expand in-district supports, reduce costly out-of-district placements, and invest in staffing, assistive technology, and professional development tailored to students with disabilities.
3. Stratford CrierStratford Animal Rescue Society Launches 'Help Us Heal' Campaign to Address Mounting Veterinary Bills (stratfordcrier.com) — Stratford's volunteer-run Animal Rescue Society is urgently trying to raise $6,800 so Stratford Animal Care & Control can pay off mounting veterinary bills for homeless and neglected animals. With shelters statewide overcrowded and medical needs rising, local officers stress that even small donations help cover exams, vaccines, surgeries, and emergency care so animals in Stratford get a real second chance.
4. Stratford CrierThe Split View of the Installation of School Zone Speed Cameras (stratfordcrier.com) — Stratford has fully activated new school-zone speed cameras that now issue $50 and $75 fines after a May–July warning period, with enforcement running 24/7 at several key roads. Town police say the goal is student safety, while residents on local social media are sharply divided over whether the cameras are needed protection or intrusive surveillance.
5. Ryan Fazio under fire for ad featuring Democrats supporting him. Two people in it are Republicans (news12.com) — A new gubernatorial ad from Republican Ryan Fazio touts Democrats backing his campaign, but two featured supporters are actually Republicans, including former Stratford Town Council member Jim Connor. Democrats call the spot misleading, while Fazio dismisses the criticism as a "silly controversy," arguing only the self-identified Democrats in the video claim that label.
