Connecticut is in a drought. But what does that mean for the state’s water resources? This hour, we follow up on the controversy surrounding Bloomfield’s new Niagara Bottling facility.
The California-based company will be allowed to bottle millions, if not billions, of gallons of public water -- something critics warn against due to recent climate trends. Coming up, we take a closer look.
We also find out why some Connecticut towns could be ordered to give millions of supplemental dollars to the state’s Metropolitan District, also known as the MDC.
And finally, we revisit our recent conversation on political civility with author and scholar Keith J. Bybee. His new book is called How Civility Works.
