Governor Lamont is back from his Maine vacation and seemingly rarin’ to go. In just the last week or so, he overruled his health commissioner and will release school-by-school data on vaccinations, rolled out a big transportation plan, and committed to a no-carbon electric grid by 2040. 

All that, and he STILL had time to dance like nobody was watching at Nedstock!

This hour, we update you on the many storylines coming out of the governor’s office. And, we look at Hartford’s bid to get the 2020 presidential debate - including a big commitment from the region’s largest philanthropic organization. Oh yeah, and it’s just a week away from those important mayoral primaries - we’ll get the latest on those races.
