This week, the endorsed Democratic and Republican candidates for governor addressed the AFL-CIO political convention. Not surprisingly, incumbent Democratic Governor Dannel Malloy won the union's endorsement. Notably absent from the convention was new third-party candidate Jonathan Pelto, who said he asked to address the candidates, but was ignored.
This hour, on our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse, we take a look at the role of labor unions in Connecticut politics.
We also debrief on Tom Foley's recent appearance on Where We Live, which made news for his comments on Connecticut's new gun laws.
Look out for the pedestrian flags, because it might be Susan Bysiewicz running across the street to get into the 31st Senate District. Join the conversation, and weigh in on this week's news on The Wheelhouse from Where We Live.
