Gov. Dan Malloy

Five out of six New England governors will meet in Hartford on Thursday for a closed-door energy roundtable. Together, they’ll work on developing a cooperative strategy to address some of the region’s biggest energy challenges. 

This hour, we check in with reporters from Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Rhode Island to find out what that strategy might look like.

A little later, we also get an update on the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, and find out how a new fast-track trade bill could impact businesses here in Connecticut.

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.
