Listen live on Wednesday at 9:00 am. The first vice presidential debate likely had a much smaller audience and far less excitement than the Trump-Clinton showdown. But this hour, we review some of the highlights. 

And Congressman John Larson has a plan to tunnel I-84 under Hartford, and it's gonna cost $10 Billion. The state DOT has already ruled out the tunnel option, so what's the reality? We also talk about challenges with the insurance exchange, AAA causing trouble, and clowns wreaking havoc. 

GUESTS:

  • Colin McEnroe - Host of WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show
  • Christine Stuart - Editor at CTNewsJunkie.com
  • Mark Pazniokas - Capitol bureau chief at CTMirror.org
