🌱Five New Houses For Sale + More Flexibility In Absentee Voting?

Happy Monday, neighbors! Let's get you all caught up to start today off on an informed note.

First, today's weather:

Windy and colder. High: 31 Low: 21.

Here are the top three stories today in The Haddams-Killingworth:

1. There are five new houses on the market in and around the Haddams-Killingworth area. Are you looking for a new place to call home? (The Haddams-Killingworth Patch)
2. Foodies take note, New Haven Restaurant "week" returns for a two-week run now through Saturday, April 9. Financial support from Yale University, Yale New Haven Hospital and the City of New Haven makes this celebration of the culinary arts possible. (New Haven Independent)
3. Connecticut legislators approved a bill that would expand absentee ballot voting and allow greater flexibility for commuters. Current state law only permits absentee ballot voting if a person is fully out of town from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the day of an election. (Patch)
