Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont underwent hip replacement surgery on Wednesday.

The governor's office said in a release that he is recovering at home. Lamont had the procedure done at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Stamford.

About a year ago, Lamont had a similar surgery on the opposite side of his hip, according to Max Riess, Lamont's director of communications.

"His medical team says that he is on track for a speedy recovery," Riess said in a statement.

Lamont is expected to rest at home for the next several days, while also working remotely.

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.
