Several states want General Electric to relocate their headquarters. Will Connecticut remain its home?

Is General Electric really looking to leave the state? What’s Connecticut doing to try to keep them? That’s one of the stories we’re talking about on The Wheelhouse, our weekly news roundtable. Also, there's another round of musical chairs in state government and Governor Dan Malloy brings his support of Hillary Clinton to the Granite State.

Did you finish the complete works of George R.R. Martin while waiting in line at the DMV? We can occupy you for another hour this week on The Wheelhouse!
