Opinion writer Susan Bigelow says the takeover of the House of Representatives by a small number of hard-right revolutionaries has been compared to inmates running the asylum ... But it’s more like being stuck on a bus driven by a guy who hates buses and wants nothing more than to plunge one over a cliff.

More than a thousand people have been arrested, with Brazilian Justice Minister Flavio Dino telling reporters Monday that there had been “about 1,500” arrests in Brasilia since the Sunday riots.

Anyone who has filed an insurance claim is familiar with accepted standards of liability in certain situations: When a car is rear-ended, who was in the driver’s seat? When a house has fire damage, who left the stovetop on? While matters of individual liability can be more straightforward, larger-scale societal issues are often inextricable from equally big questions of liability. Corporate lobbying, financial interests, and differing political investments clash when controversial issues are added to the mix, particularly around discussions of accountability and structural change. In many ways, everything from gun control laws to halting the threat of climate change comes down to who is deemed liable and how that liability is enforced.

The election is over, and the work is about to begin. Gov. Ned Lamont will be inaugurated for his second term on Wednesday, and the 2023 session of the new General Assembly will begin. Democrats hold large majorities in both chambers once again, so the question is: what are they going to do with them?

The city of Hoboken, New Jersey has had no traffic deaths in the last four years. Here in Connecticut, three pedestrians were killed in West Hartford – a comparably-sized city – last year alone. Add to that the three people killed in a two-car crash on Christmas morning, the truck driver who perished in a seven-vehicle collision on I-84 at the beginning of December, and a motorcyclist left dead back in March after he struck a car at the intersection of Trout Brook Drive and Lawler Road.
