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

1. According to a press release, the MEWS+ StartUpMX business incubator program is a collaboration between the MEWS+, Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce, and a host of local resources and industry leaders. It is an eight-week program for entrepreneurs to refine their ideas, understand fundamental business concepts, and work through the initial stages of their business.

Several bills were passed through the legislative session such as the Connecticut Clean Air Act, protections for abortion providers, a law aimed at curbing skyrocketing catalytic converter thefts and legislation prohibiting Connecticut employers from holding "captive audience" meetings to discourage workers from organizing.
