We’re inching closer to the end of the fiscal year and Connecticut lawmakers at the state capitol still haven’t been able to reach a budget agreement. Meanwhile at the nation’s capitol, Senate Republicans are postponing a vote on their controversial health care bill.
This hour: a tale of gridlock in Hartford and Washington.
We examine the repercussions of a state run under Governor Malloy’s executive order -- an unavoidable outcome if lawmakers don’t agree on at least a provisional budget. And we weigh the effects of the Republican health care bill on Connecticut residents.
And later: what’s the limit to free speech on college campuses? We discuss the case of Trinity College Professor Johnny Williams, placed on leave after remarks he made on social media.
