Jeff Cohen
Jeff Cohen, WNPR's News Director, is a proud New Orleans native who now calls New England home. Or at least his second home.
He started in newspapers in 2001 and joined WNPR in 2010, where he has worked as a reporter and an occasional fill-in host for All Things Considered.
In addition to covering state and Hartford city politics, Jeff covered the December 2012 Newtown shootings and the stories that followed. Much of that work was featured on NPR. Also in 2012, Jeff was selected by NPR and Kaiser Health News for their joint Health Care In The States project. That work resulted in several national stories, including ones on the Affordable Care Act and medical education.
Jeff was also selected by the Tow Foundation and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice as a fellow in their 2012 juvenile justice reporting project.
Before working at WNPR, Jeff worked as the city reporter for The Hartford Courant. While at the Courant, he won a National Headliner Award for a Northeast Magazine story about the ostracized widow of the state's first casualty in Iraq; wrote about his post-Katrina, flooded out home in New Orleans; and was part of a team of reporters that broke the stories of alleged corruption at Hartford City Hall that led to the arrest of former Mayor Eddie A. Perez.
He also worked at the Meriden Record-Journal and as a freelancer for The New York Times.
Jeff lives in Middletown with his wife, cats, and two trouble-making kids. Thanks to the kids, he's now writing children's books. The first, Eva and Sadie and the Worst Haircut Ever!, came out in June 2014. The second, Eva and Sadie and the Best Classroom Ever!, comes out in June 2015. He likes to make bread and wine.

New view: UVA revs up North Grounds Connector
The views from Darden, UVA's nationally ranked business school, are about to dramatically change.
Construction of the North Grounds Connector that will ferry roundball fans from UVA's swanky new John Paul Jones Arena to the U.S. 29/250 bypass starts February 28.
The half-mile-long, privately funded $4.1-million road will zip those coming up 29 from the south right over to the arena. Getting home won't be quite as easy because the initial structure won't provide an interchange for southbound travel on 29.
UVA decided to make a simpler connection to the bypass– rather than risk interchange changes for a western 29 bypass that may never materialize.
"We don't know what the final decision on the western bypass with be," says Dick Laurance, UVA's project director. "We don't want to throw away $13 million."
Faulconer Construction will soon erect site fencing and begin turning soil. The Rivanna Trail and student shortcuts from nearby apartments will be detoured.
The connector will take shape as trees are cleared from the major gully beside the North Grounds Recreation Center to the bypass, followed by "grubbing," the technical term for taking out stumps.
Almost as soon as graduation is over May 22, Massie Road will close for the summer, to re-emerge before students return in August in an elevated (and ultimately stop-lighted) intersection with the North Grounds Connector.
To fill the plunging gully in the path of the connector, Laurance says other hills en route to the bypass will give up an extra 50,000 cubic yards of dirt– more than enough for this project. "I got a lot of calls from people who want some," he says.
Laurance insists the connector isn't just for game traffic. "It will relieve congestion around the university," he says.
The road is set to open in June 2006, which segues nicely with the planned completion of the arena that summer.
At a press conference, Laurance extols some of the virtues of the 15,000-seat, state-of-the-art arena, "the largest indoor arena in Virginia," he says. Columns outside will give the $130 million facility that Jeffersonian touch.
"We're on schedule; we're on budget," he says.
In the multi-purpose arena, along with 30 basketball games a year, Laurance foresees circuses, tractor pulls, and rodeos. "We'll be wiring the sound system so we can bring in Dave Matthews or Earth Wind and Fire," which means, unlike U-Hall, the acoustics will be good. And unlike U-Hall, the arena will be air conditioned.
Rather than stadiums for rock shows, Laurance says 6,000-to-8,000-seat arenas are the big sellers now. And with the flexibility of the seating in JP Jones, perhaps DMB's next Charlottesville concert will be a more intimate experience than the Scott Stadium extravaganza of '01.
Connection of the North Grounds Connector is poised to commence February 28.
John Paul Jones Arena is the second largest construction project in UVA's history, topped only by the medical center.

Champaign County Treasurer Seeks Answers on Provena Tax Money
A Champaign County Judge has been asked to provide local taxing bodies with some clarity over whether they are free to use property tax funds paid out by Provena Covenant Medical Center.
Champaign County Treasurer Dan Welch wants to know what years between 2002 and 2009 will not remain part of a legal battle over the hospital's tax-exempt status.
"Tell us which ones are in jeopardy, and which ones are not," Welch said. "Just let Provena make their case to the judge about what legal authority they believe they have to tie up any of that money. If they can't, then I assume Urbana will be able to release whatever they want, but leave it up to the judge, let them make their legal argument."
Welch said Provena is appealing its 2006 property taxes. More than $8 million of the remaining funds, or 99 percent, is earmarked for a Tax Increment Financing District in Urbana. Welch said the city is not required to give it to anyone else, but Urbana opted to release some to other local governments. Champaign County's share of tax dollars for that stretch is about $600,000.
"Urbana wants to give this money to the taxing districts, and all taxing districts are in need of some money," Welch said. "So it makes some sense if we can clarify it once and for all. Yet some money is not in jeopardy of not having to be refunded again, and some money may be. Whatever the answer is, we just want to know what that answer is."
Welch said it could be several years before the county finds out what a judge's ruling will be for 2006. While his office still is not holding any of this money, it is still up to the Treasurer to keep track of tax dollars that have been paid or refunded. Welch said it has been difficult keeping track of the tax liability for each of the taxing districts.

Sintra municipality invests EUR 7 million in renovation of schools
This is only the beginning of a large-scale attempt to reinvigorate Sintra's public education system
- May 15, 2019 09:30
- Anton Stoyanov
Basílio Horta, mayor of Sintra, and Alexandra Leitão, Secretary of State for Education, signed a joint protocol for collaboration aimed at improving Sintra's public education. 7.4 million euros are planned to be invested in the renovation, rehabilitation, requalification and modernisation of 16 local schools, covering more than 13 thousand students. The municipality will allocate 3.8 million of the funding from its own budget and the rest will be supplied by the central authorities. The plan is for the total amount to be transferred by 2021.
The president of Sintra's city council stated that the improvement of local public education has been a priority of the administration since day one – not by building new schools but by improving old ones. So far plans have been drawn up for the investment of 24 million euros. The local and the central governments share the goal of creating a joint long-term strategy aimed at the reintegration and recovery of schools in the region.
According to Alexandra Leitão, the whole project is a part of a larger decentralization plan. The incumbent administration has made it one of its priorities to showcase all the positive aspects of giving more autonomy to municipalities.
