STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. The town where I went to college in Kentucky had a drive-through liquor store. New Orleans, of course, features drive-through daiquiris. And a man in Mexico has invented the ride-through. A cattle rancher in Acapulco rode his horse into a store. Employees tried to coax him out, but he was having none of that and neither was the horse. They finally allowed him to buy a six-pack of beer. And with that, the man was able to ride off into the sunset. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

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.
