Tom Foley and Dan Malloy are endorsed for a rematch of the close 2010 race.

The conventions are over and the results are...familiar. Dannel Malloy and Tom Foley have been endorsed for a rematch of the 2010 race. But there may be a wild card entering the field. Jonathan Pelto is a liberal critic of Malloy and he's considering a run for governor.

Our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse will recap the latest news from the 2014 elections. Also, Education Secretary Arne Duncan was in town yesterday and we discuss his message for Hartford students.

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.
