The Wheelhouse: A Positive View Of Negative Tests

Connecticut Public Radio | By Matt Dwyer

Published July 22, 2020 at 8:00 AM EDT

We look at the mostly positive trends for COVID-19 in the state. And we glance worriedly at some other states. Our panel will take a closer look at new rules, training, and oversight for police officers in Connecticut. That bill is expected to soon be considered in a General Assembly special session. And are new beach restrictions in some towns really entirely about COVID-19?

Guests:

Renny Fulco -- Director of Public Policy and Law at Trinity College

Dan Haar -- Columnist and Associate Editor at Hearst Connecticut Media (@DanHaarColumns)

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

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
