The Wheelhouse: Budget Blues, Young Republicans, and Remembering Judge Downey

Chion Wolf
/
WNPR
The Wheelhouse takes a bird's-eye view of the week's news.

Our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse brings together some of the best and brightest reporters to break down the week's news. As expected, the state budget faces a serious deficit and the Connecticut Mirror's Keith Phaneuf will explain what that means for taxpayers. Also, the Democrats will retain control of the legislature, but there are some intriguing young Republicans to watch - including a 20-year-old legislator! We will also remember Connecticut Judge John T. Downey, who died this week after an extraordinary life.

Catie Talarski is Senior Director of Storytelling and Radio Programming at Connecticut Public.
