Where We Live: Governor Malloy's First Year
Malloy on storm response, gambling, education and bears.
Just over a year ago, Governor Dannel Malloy became the state’s first Democratic governor in 20 years.
His first year in office could be remembered in any number of ways: the state budget battle, the union concession rejection and then approval...and of course the weather.
Later today, he’s announcing his proposals coming out of the two-storm panel, which investigated the response to the storms...they announced their findings earlier this week.
Meanwhile, the federal government recently paved the way for online gambling, which could endanger Connecticut’s two big casinos...and mean even more gambling in the state.
Today, Governor Malloy joins us in-studio to look back at his first year in office and to look ahead at the upcoming legislative session.

Re post from a great Canadian: "shouldn't the job of the highest politician of any jurisdiction be to promote their area? It almost seems as if he is telling everyone that CT just isn't good enough to "be in the big leagues" it seems as if he is promoting CT as a "second class" state.. Sad

Our basement suffered severe water damage in the days following the October 29 storm. These damages were not covered under our homeowner's insurance and we are wondering if there are any state or federal sources we can turn to for assistance.

Not building the new UCONN health in Hartford is an enormous missed opportunity. Is there a chance that this will be reconsidered?

Recently while at Danbury Traffic Court I witnessed several cell phone use infraction fines get reduced to $35 from $250. I don't understand why that would benefit the state and also be a deterrant for motorists to not use their phones. Obviously the fact that its illegal isn't deterring anyone. Also, I see drivers speed through red lights on a daily basis in my town. Why can't camera use to catch violators be the norm in every town? think of the revenue it would generate!

Connecticut needs to focus on its cities and make them more interesting places to live. Connecticut has too much suburban growth that is not conducive to what the new mobile creative class wants. Focus on places like New Haven which I believe will become the city of Connecticut and build dense walkable transit friendly places that are lively and the creative class of people will stay in Connecticut. How does the governor plans to address this issue?
