Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 21st of April.
Good morning, Hartford.
🎭 Culture
Erik Ofgang examines the contributions of Gladys Iola Tantaquidgeon—an Ivy League-educated Mohegan Medicine Woman who co-founded the Tantaquidgeon Indian Museum in Uncasville in 1931 and authored an influential book on traditional medicine practices.
Her work preserved Indigenous culture and helped secure recognition for the Mohegan Tribe.
🏛️ Government
Comptroller Sean Scanlon said federal funding cuts to Medicaid could hurt one million vulnerable people in the state including children, seniors in nursing homes and disabled residents—cuts that are under review in Congress.
State leaders say CT is better prepared with a strong rainy day fund and balanced budgets, but may use these savings if the cuts cause an economic slowdown—potentially shifting costs to private insurers.
