Connecticut Coroners Picked by Legislature Debate
Hartford March 13 Conservative leaders warn that Republican dominance in Connecticut could fade as a new push to change coroner appointments gains steam. Rep Bishop cites the current indirect method by judges and state attorneys, urging governor nominates and General Assembly confirms coroners to align with popular government and reduce judicial influence. New Haven backing adds weight to the reform effort, seen as a check on political patronage and bias in coroner rulings.

Washington on March 12 a major fight is expected in Congress over taxing coffee. The Ways and Means committee wavered between free coffee and a tax as the bill aims to raise revenue.
