May 20th marked the first phase of Re-open Connecticut. What conditions will need to be met before Phase 2 starts on June 20th? This hour, Governor Ned Lamont calls in to talk about what Phase 2 will look like. 

Later in the hour, we talk to Rodney Butler, Chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and executive for Foxwoods Resort Casino. Starting today, casinos in Connecticut are re-opening their doors. But the casino floor is going to look a little different.
