Good morning, Danbury.

Stew Leonard's is holding a contest for children (aged 4-10) to name new baby goats and lambs that will live on its Little Farm stores; a naming ceremony in Danbury will be held on May 31 from 11 a.m. to noon when winners (winning a $25 gift card) will be announced.

A Florida man was sentenced to 11 years in prison yesterday for his role in a violent kidnapping in Danbury—he was one of six who pulled a husband and wife from their car, beat them, and bound them with duct tape in a scheme to extort the couple's son, who is suspected of stealing millions in cryptocurrency.

Connecticut lawmakers have until next Wednesday to plug a $300 million gap in Medicaid funds or thousands of doctors may not receive HUSKY checks next week.

House Speaker Matt Ritter said checks will go out on time (even though Gov. Lamont and lawmakers differ over using the budget surplus) as lawmakers plan a vote on an emergency package (further discussions are expected Monday).

On May 15, Gov. Lamont announced that flags across Connecticut were flown at half-staff to honor fallen law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty.

The display honored local, state — and federal officers during Peace Officers Memorial Day as part of the national observance.

Officials celebrated the merger between Nuvance Health and Northwell Health at Danbury Hospital on May 15th, creating the largest not-for-profit health system in the Northeast.

The new system will serve millions of patients across more than 1,000 care locations and 28 hospitals in Connecticut and New York—expanding access, innovation, and research.
