CT Senate Democrats

State Senator Andrew Maynard returned to the Capitol for the first time since he fell at his home in 2014.

Questions continue to swirl around a car crash involving a state senator. Andrew Maynard, a Democrat from Stonington, was already recovering from a fall at his home in 2014 that left some questioning his ability to serve before the most recent incident. 

Also, General Electric announced it was moving its headquarters from Connecticut to Massachusetts. What led to that decision and what lessons were learned? One issue that is of concern to the business community is Connecticut's transportation infrastructure. Gov. Dannel Malloy proposed a $100 billion plan to upgrade it and his panel just made recommendations for how to pay for it. But it may not include things that lawmakers want to hear in an election year: tolls and taxes.
