At some point during this 2015 municipal election cycle, an argument could be made that Hartford rivaled Bridgeport for having the most bizarre mayoral race in Connecticut. Not anymore. Within the last seven days, incumbent Mayor Bill Finch not only lost his party's nomination to a former mayor who served seven years for corruption, but he also lost a spot on the November ballot.
This hour, our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse will discuss the Bridgeport race and other highlights from the week's news including emergency state budget cuts announced on Friday.
