Members of Connecticut's Congressional delegation have moved closer to securing $1.5 million in federal funding to study how pyrrhotite effects concrete foundations in the state.

U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, and Reps. Joe Courtney and John Larson in a joint statement Monday announced that funding they sought to conduct research on Connecticut's crumbling foundations crisis has been included in the final version of the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) appropriations bill for fiscal year 2020.

Washington – The U.S. House on Friday approved an ambitious bill that would dramatically lower the cost of popular drugs, like insulin and other commonly prescribed medications, for Medicare patients and other Americans.

All Connecticut House members voted for the bill, and three of them — Reps. John Larson, D-1st District, Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, and Jahana Hayes, D-5th District — were original co-sponsors.
