Governor Dannel Malloy is less than a year into his second term in office and it doesn’t look like it will be any easier than the first term.
The budget remains in a state of permanent fiscal crisis, forcing a $100 million cut to the budget, just months into a new fiscal year. Those cuts, especially the ones hitting social services and hospitals, have been criticized by Republicans and Democrats alike, and there are calls from editorial boards for a special session to reinstate some of the funding and find new ways to plug budget holes.
This hour, we're also joined by Mike Lawlor, Malloy’s Undersecretary for Criminal Justice Policy to talk about the Second Chance Society initiatives.
GUESTS:
- Dannel Malloy - Governor of the State of Connecticut
- Mike Lawlor - Under Secretary for Criminal Justice Policy and Planning
