Pushing the line of ethics is nothing new in politics. That is part of the reason voters are frustrated when it continues to happen. Former Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim is hoping to return to his former office after a stint in prison on corruption charges. The former house Republicans chief of staff faces up to 15 months in prison for collecting kickbacks. And the Connecticut Democratic Party is trying to avoid complying with a subpoena issued by state election officials.
This hour, Colin McEnroe guest-hosts our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse. We also remember former State Sen. Eileen Daily and discuss pushback from MGM against Connecticut's proposed casino expansion.
Also, a look at the 2016 presidential race and the first (of eleven) GOP presidential debates.
GUESTS:
- Kevin Rennie - Lawyer, Hartford Courant columnist, and former Republican state lawmaker
- Tom Dudchik - Editor of CTCapitolReport.com
- Alison Leigh Cowan - Freelance reporter and former editor and reporter for the New York Times
