Timothy J. Moynihan was a Democratic Party power broker, an influential state lawmaker from East Hartford and a confidante of former Gov. William A. O'Neill.
But Moynihan, who was 78 and died over the weekend, might best be remembered as the longtime leader of the region's chamber of commerce. In that role, he helped lay the groundwork for several initiatives in Hartford, including more housing downtown, increased office occupancy and the city's reconnection with the riverfront.
MANCHESTER — Three juniors from Howell Cheney Technical School have broken a glass ceiling by becoming the first all-female group to win the 1st District Congressional App Challenge.
Jalah Edison, 16, of Vernon, Rocio Rivera, 16, of East Hartford, and Jazzlin Grisby, 16, also of East Hartford, were recognized by U.S. Rep. John B. Larson, D-1st District, at a ceremony at their school. Larson presented the girls with certificates of special congressional recognition for designing the app "School of Math."
