A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A. Martinez. The price of everything is going up - gas, groceries and, if you're Snoop Dogg, the salary of your personal blunt roller, too. Yeah, Snoop was paying someone 50 grand a couple years ago. But he says inflation called for a raise, and that's on top of all-expenses-paid travel with the D-O-double G. Listen, Snoop. We can't roll weed for you, but if you're looking for news, public radio is here for free. It's 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.
