We launched CTMirror.org in January 2010 with a lot of work behind us and even more ahead, to make this site your indispensible source for news and information about the policies and decisions that will affect life in Connecticut for years to come.
Our goal is to bring you content you won't find anywhere else: original in-depth reporting, a comprehensive guide to state elected officials, and an evolving library of source documents from a variety of state agencies and outside organizations. We plan to bring you breaking news as well, and a guide to the best stories, columns, reports and analyses being done by others.
But even before we launched, we were planning for the next phase, and the next and the next. We’ll bring you new features to help you track the people, policies and politics that shape our state and influence our lives.
Please take time to explore the About section to see more about who we are, why we’re doing this and where we’re going. And most important, please share your thoughts, suggestions and story ideas.
Thank you.
Stephen F. Cashman, chairman of the elections enforcement commission
