Good morning, Danbury.
🏛️ Government
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection announced that starting Aug.
1 the CHEAPR standard incentive for new battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles will drop to $500—prompted by a 30% rise in demand after the federal tax credit ends on Sept. 30—and will continue offering additional rebates of $3,000 for battery electric vehicles and $1,500 for plug-in hybrids for eligible vehicles purchased from licensed dealers.
Gov. Ned Lamont and State Treasurer Erik Russell on Thursday announced details on the new Early Childhood Education Endowment that will let thousands of children join early education programs for free or at lower cost for families earning up to $100,000 a year.
The program, funded by $300 million in surplus funds, will raise teacher pay to match kindergarten wages starting July 2027—one of Lamont's top priorities this session.
