    CT Senator Richard Blumenthal appears on CT news station to discuss AI Robocall concerns

    Key Points:

    Between January and September 2025, across the country there was a 2.56 billion call increase from Artificial Intelligence (AI) Robocalls every month.

    Senator Blumenthal explained that, while robocallers prey more on older Americans, everyone is a risk.

    These illegal robocalls use imitation and voice cloning technology to make the caller’s voice sound trustworthy and often request the person to send them money.

    Senator Blumenthal is taking action by submitting a proposal to strengthen the bipartisan 2019 TRACED Act to substantially increase penalties for illegal AI Robocalls.

    New Town Council Agrees to Pursue Speed Cameras

    This article was published in the Rocky Hill Rare Reminder on December 11, 2025.

    Key Points:

    At the December Rocky Hill Town Council meeting, Mayor Allan Smith introduced discussion about bringing speed and red-light cameras to our town.

    Mayor Smith initiated discussing this issue because he heard many concerns about it from residents during his campaign’s door-knocking activity.

    After more discussion by the Council, they would likely refer the topic to the town’s Public Safety Committee for consideration.
