Connecticut is "The Land of Steady Habits," which is why our state budget remains in a state of permanent crisis. Recently, Governor Dan Malloy made emergency cuts to the budget and targeted hospital funding and social services. He was on Where We Live this week and defended his actions and drew more criticism from the hospital community.
This hour, our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse will take a deep dive into the budget and the effects it has on communities throughout the state. Also, Sen. Richard Blumenthal has proposed a way to speed up the process of resettling Syrian refugees. We take a look at his plan.
GUESTS:
- Keith Phaneuf - State budget reporter for the Connecticut Mirror
