The New Haven area is still looking for answers after last week’s plane crash at Tweed Airport. Patrick Murray is in charge of the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation into what happened. "The airplane impacted the ground and the house upside down, in a 60 to 70 degree angle," he said shortly after the accident.
Today, it’s our weekly news roundtable, The Wheelhouse, and we talk about that investigation. Also a new, big, article in Forbes asks, “How did rich Connecticut morph into one of America’s poorest economies?” We also look at a big decision in the state’s favor in the collection of nickel deposits.
Meanwhile, another Republican’s getting ready to run for governor, and is the end near for the hyper-local Patch news company?
