The Wheelhouse: Coronavirus Political Divide, Prominent Justice Retires

Joe Amon

Connecticut Public/NENC

This week, we take a look at the political divide on coronavirus in Connecticut and around the country.  But could there also be a seed of pandemic bipartisanship in the state?  We playback some of the judicial greatest hits of a high-profile member of the state Supreme Court.  How might Justice Richard Palmer’s retirement change the court? And a look at some award-winning reporting.

Guests:

Kaitlyn Krasselt -- Political Reporter for Hearst Connecticut Media (@kaitlynkrasselt)

Jonathan Wharton -- Professor of Political Science and Urban Affairs at  Southern Connecticut State University (@PreppyProf)

Colin McEnroe -- Host of The Colin McEnroe show, and a columnist at Hearst Connecticut. (@ColinMcEnroe)
