It's crunch time for health care in the Senate, where GOP leaders could present a bill that aims to repeal and replace Obamacare, NBC News reported.

The House passed the American Health Care Act in early May in a dramatic and sudden vote after abandoning a similar effort in March. Now it’s in the hands of the Senate, which has been hammering out its own legislation with a small and secretive working group of Republicans.

Since the process is taking place behind closed doors, it's harder to keep track of new developments or what to expect in the Senate's bill.

Here's what you need to know about where things stand, which lawmakers could make or break a deal, and which policies might end up in a final bill.

A new low-cost airline has arrived at Bradley International Airport.

Now you can jet off to Europe on Norwegian Air for as low as $99 one way this summer.

The discount carrier is offering nonstop service between Bradley and Edinburgh, Scotland.

“Both of our families have roots in Scotland, we’ve always wanted to go,” Stephanie Purington of South Deerfield, Mass., said.

On Saturday people checked in for the inaugural flight.

“With food and tax and everything, 505 roundtrip. I can’t even go to Florida in the wintertime for 505,” Tom Evanko of New Britain, said.

Norwegian is quickly expanding at smaller airports in the Northeast. Providence and Hartford came online this week.

The airline hopes to win over customers with its offer of an international destination and prices that are normally found at larger airports.

“It’s really serving a community that really doesn’t have those options,” Danielle Manegio, Norwegian account manager, said.

The launch follows the start of Aer Lingus in September with flights to Dublin, Ireland.

It offered the first trans-Atlantic flight from Bradley in eight years.

Now with a second route underway, the airport is hopeful more international travelers will chose the convenience of Bradley over a major airport.

“It’s a huge time saver particularly for our businesses that are located here in Connecticut,” Kevin Dillon, Connecticut Airport Authority executive director, said.

The airport says airlines throughout the region are looking at their fares with the arrival of Norwegian.

Now the lowest fares at Norwegian do come with a catch.

There are fees for checked luggage, seat assignments, and onboard food and drinks, including non-alcoholic beverages.

Whether walking for two miles or running for five, the 37th annual Branford Road Race drew people of all ages for three different events on Sunday. The kids fun run kicked off the community competition, followed by the health walk, and five-mile road race. For many participants, it’s become a Father’s Day tradition.

“It’s my favorite town, and my favorite race , and it gives me a good excuse to spend an extra day with my daughter as well,” said Pete Stoker, Cromwell.

For seven years and counting, Stoker and his daughter Emma have made a dad and daughter date for this race.

“Good community feel to it, everyone’s out for the day, spend time with their dads and get a little exercise while they’re at it,” Emma added.

The Figlewski family’s history with the event goes back to the beginning. Monica Figlewski’s father founded this road race in 1979, and it is also an important holiday tradition.

“I know it is for me. Everyone in town. It’s a great way. People will run with their sons and daughters and everything. The whole family comes out and there’s an event for everyone,” she said.

Since 2005,her father Ray Figlewsi’s battled Parkinson’s Disease.

“He’s still here on the mic. He now has a co-mic host, but he’s great. He looks forward to this every year,” she said.

“I’m blessed to have so many people here at the race. So many wonderful people helping us in a town as great at Branford,” said Ray.

Since 1979, 76,000 people have participated in the Branford Road Race and it continues to draw a crowd: 3,000 runners and walkers each year.

“You can just tell it’s a really great vibe going around this area, it’s nice,” said Pam Trovato of North Branford, who brought her two sons for the fun run.

“It’s a big family event,” added Blair McKenna of Branford, who ran with her daughter for the first time in the fun run.

The day was about family, fitness, and philanthropy. The proceeds benefited Parkinson’s research, along with three other charities, including Notre Dame High School.

“It’s a great benefit financially, but also for exposure for the school for our admissions efforts,” said Kathy Wielk, a vice-president at the West Haven school.

“The whole thing is about community. The race started for the community and the runners and it continues today,” Ray added.

Scott Schoettes, Counsel and HIV Project Director at Lambda Legal, explained in a Newsweek op-ed Friday that he and five colleagues decided to leave their posts on the council in protest of the Trump administration, which they allege "has no strategy to address the on-going HIV/AIDS epidemic."

Schoettes, who is openly HIV positive, added that the White House is also pushing legislation that would harm people with HIV and “reverse gains made in the fight against the disease.”

Lucy Bradley-Springer, Gina Brown, Ulysses W. Burley III, Michelle Ogle and Grissel Granados are the five other members who resigned.

The White House and the Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to multiple requests for comment.

Anthony Campbell will be formally sworn in as the Chief of Police in New Haven on Tuesday, after months of serving as acting and interim chief.

Campbell has been acting as chief since September, when former Police Chief Dean Esserman stepped down. Mayor Toni Harp selected Campbell to become the permanent New Haven Chief of Police in May.

Since Esserman’s departure, Campbell said he has focused on improving the morale of the men and women in the New Haven Police Department.

“And I stand behind my cops,” Campbell said in a previous interview. “Cops have to make really difficult decisions sometimes within a split second and you have to support your cops.”

Campbell was born in Harlem, New York, and moved to New Haven to attend Yale University.

A Yale graduate who thought he was going to become a Jesuit priest, Campbell rose within the ranks of the police department since becoming an officer in 1998. During his career he studied and received a Masters of Divinity degree at the Yale Divinity School in 2009. He has had all kinds of positions in the department, but nothing means more to him than serving as an "unofficial" chaplain.

The swearing in ceremony is scheduled to begin Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. The public is invited to attend.
