The Wheelhouse: Corporate Shakeups, Police Cameras, and Sexual Assault on Connecticut Campuses

Our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse discusses several national stories with implications here in Connecticut.

In the wake of the grand jury decisions in Staten Island and Ferguson, body cameras for police officers have been floated as one possible fix. It could hold officers more accountable for their actions, but it could also lead to unintended consequences.

Also, how does the Rolling Stone story on sexual assault on college campuses impact schools in Connecticut?

We also preview an upcoming forum about Connecticut innovations with the moderator of the event, The Hartford Courant's Dan Haar. He also discusses changes at the top of two big Connecticut corporations.
