We All Know What's Wrong With Connecticut. Who's Gonna Fix It?

All along, we knew it was all about the emails. We just didn't know it was going to be these emails. 

Donald Trump Jr. released a string of emails between him and a music promoted who was trying to set up a meeting with a connected Russian lawyer who said she could help Trump's father beat Hillary Clinton. 

It's the latest in a string of events connecting President Trump's inner circle with Russia -- connections some conservatives say are the media's continued "attack" on the current administration.

Meanwhile, our state is still without a budget agreement. The Atlantic (and many state residents) are asking: "What on Earth is Wrong with Connecticut?" Interested in fixing it? Get in line. Eager candidates are raising money to compete for the next gubernatorial seat.  

This hour, all that and more. 

GUESTS: 

  • Colin McEnroe - Host of WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show 
  • Max Reiss - Political Reporter for NBC Connecticut 
  • Susan Bigelow - Columnist for CTNewsJunkie.com
