  3. The Top 10 Connecticut Business Stories of 2012

    In some ways, 2012 was a carryover year from news of 2011, as the governor continued his aggressive economic development spending, United Technologies Corp. consummated a deal it announced in 2011, and the year's nastiest labor strike grew out of a 2011 lockout. But in the big picture of the state's economy, Connecticut got worse, not better, compared with the nation. That became the state's top business story of 2012 and will shape the scene in 2013.

  5. Crime & Punishment: Director of Connecticut SPCA Charged With 62 Counts of Animal Cruelty

    <strong>Rufus Spearman, who police allegedly caught </strong>carrying drugs and a gun in his car, showed up for his court date at the New Haven Superior Court, where parole officers were waiting to arrest him on additional charges of violating his parole, reports the New Haven Register. It was then that they discovered Spearman, 36, was walking around with crack cocaine, marijuana and PCP in his underwear. In similar news, the Connecticut Post reports that ex-con Jonathon Baker, who was on route to an appointment with IRS agents, allegedly entered a Bridgeport court building with a bag containing drug dealing supplies (such as a digital scale and glassine envelopes) as well as several bullets &mdash; or as Baker, 35, explained in a text message he sent from the courthouse: "My dumb ass came thru the metal detector at the IRS and forgot there were bullets in my bag. Now I'm waiting to see if they gonna lock me up." (They did.)
