Cindy Karlson and Harold Blinderman co-authored an article on new legislation reshaping Connecticut energy and environmental oversight that appeared in the October 3 issue of the Connecticut Law Tribune. Legislation passed in June created a new Department of Energy and Environment Department (DEEP), which combines the departments of Environmental Protection and Public Utility Control while also taking on additional responsibilities. The legislature also created a new brownfields remediation and revitalization program that aims to make development more appealing and regulation easier.
