A day-long odyssey that began at the Capitol Rotunda, then to the Washington National Cathedral, and finally on a presidential jet to Southern California came to and end Friday when the late President Ronald Reagan's casket was interred at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley. Rachael Myrow of member station KPCC reports from along the motorcade route leading from Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station on the coast, where the late president's casket arrived, to the library in the inland valley.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
