The Wheelhouse: Cost of Clinton; Political Swiping; FOI Hit Again

Peter Morenus
/
University of Connecticut
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks to students at UConn earlier this year.

We learned that it cost $250,000 to bring Hillary Clinton to speak at UConn earlier this year. As the cost of higher education continues to soar, there are lots of questions being raised about this speaking fee. Our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse discusses this story, and we check in on the race for governor as candidates start buying air time for those omnipresent campaign commercials. Also this week, the Connecticut Supreme Court took another swipe at Freedom of Information laws.
