Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman was recently appointed chairman of a group opposed to the Iran nuclear deal.

It’s a big year for local politics in Connecticut -- and not just Hartford and Bridgeport.

This hour, we check in on the race for mayor in New London.

As we do on most weeks, we catch you up on other stories from across the state, including how to fund the $100 billion transportation overhaul, MGM's desire to get in on the Connecticut casino expansion battle, and the future of juvenile detention facilities.

Plus, former Sen. Joe Lieberman was named chairman of a group opposing the Iran nuclear deal. That got us thinking: What are other former lawmakers up to?
