This hour, we talk through Governor Lamont's transportation plan - he wants to use $320 million in toll revenue to restore the state's infrastructure, improve commutes on state highways and Metro North, and stabilize the Special Transportation Fund.  

Also, Sandy Hook families will get their day in court, as the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Remington Arms to overturn a ruling that would prevent lawsuits against gun manufacturers. 

And we weigh in on the recent backlash against student journalists at Northwestern and Harvard.
