Our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse gears up for the statewide political conventions, which move the campaign season into full swing. Last week's Quinnipiac poll was good news for Tom Foley, who has been largely quiet recently.

Also, a look back at the 2014 legislative session and the massive implementer bill passed on the last night (our team of interns have been locked in a room all week reading every page).

Who's got your vote this year?

GUESTS:

Colin McEnroe - Host of The Colin McEnroe Show on WNPR
Daniela Altimari - Statehouse reporter for the Hartford Courant
Mark Pazniokas - Capitol bureau chief for Connecticut Mirror
Lowell Weicker - Connecticut’s former governor and U.S. senator

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.
