Today, a roundtable discussion of the many stories we’re following this week.....the budget’s on the brink of deficit, Sunday liquor sales seem just around the corner, as do so-called “red-light cameras”...ah yes, it must almost be time for a state legislative session. We’ll check in with reporters Keith Phaneuf of the CT Mirror and Daniela Altimari of the Courant. And, we’ll get the story from New Jersey, where Dan Malloy’s chief nemesis is once again talking smack and cutting taxes.

News

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.
