Reporter Roundtable: Donovan and the FBI; McMahon's War with the Press

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Catie/Where%20We%20Live%2006-06-2012.mp3

Controversy is swirling around the campaign of a front runner for Congress, and that’s not all that’s happening.

Aside from thetroubled campaign of House Speaker Chris Donovan, we’ve also got a legislature heading back into a special session to work on the state budget, a session that Donovan says he will vote in, but not preside over.  How will that affect the process - and how will the political scrutiny affect his run for the 5th district seat.

Meanwhile, it seems theWWE is at war with the press. The wrestling company has threatened a Connecticut newspaper over statements it’s editor made about wrestling and pornography. It’s prompted howls of protest from the press corps - that clings to the old fashioned notion that stating your opinion is pretty much okay. What will this mean for the former WWE boss, Linda McMahon, making her second run at a Senate seat?

Since there’s so much to talk about, we’ve assembled a crack team of reporters and columnists to take on these and other issues.
