It’s the unofficial end of summer this Labor Day weekend, a hybrid holiday that celebrates many people’s favorite season and the fruits of our work. Many will get an early start to enjoy summer’s last big gasp. Those who work in New York City will be hopping aboard extra “getaway” trains. Roads like the Merritt Parkway and Interstates 84, 91 and 95 figure to be jammed Friday afternoon and again on Monday. And Connecticut State Police will have stepped-up patrols. The National Safety Council estimates that 420 people will be killed during the three-day weekend, which begins at 6 p.m. Friday and ends at 11:59 p.m. Monday. Meanwhile, the price of gas is holding steady across the nation. Connecticut’s price of $3.
