The final show of the season. Always seems to so far away when the season starts, then suddenly.. it’s over.
Our guest today was CT State Senator-elect Len Suzio. We talk about Len’s plans for when he takes his seat in Hartford.
Thanks to Ben, Tom and MJ for another awesome season. I had a lot of fun and I hope you all did as well.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to everyone!

Well, the election is less than 3 weeks away, so the lies about Connecticut’s economy from the Malloy administration are back and better than ever. Just weeks after telling his department heads that we are facing yet another budget deficit, Gov. Dan Malloy told State Comptroller Kevin Lembo that everything is awesome! One of these things is untrue.
If we look at Gov. Malloy’s history of blatantly lying to the citizens of Connecticut just prior to important elections, it’s very hard not to imagine that he is once again lying to help keep his party in power in Hartford so they can implement new taxes, fees, revenue enhancements, whatever you want to call them.
It’s going to get a whole lot more expensive to live in Connecticut if this lie works. Again. And sadly, it will. And the economy here will continue to bounce along the bottom, politically-connected friends will continue to receive millions in government “loans” and businesses small and large who are not connected will continue to either close or move out. It’s the inevitable result of Malloy’s policies and he has shown no evidence of changing.
Meanwhile, the lies keep coming louder and larger from his party, up and down the ballot. And I am seriously sick of being treated like an idiot. Anyone who believes these lies is either a fool or cares more about power than about honesty.
And speaking of lying liars who lie, our guest today is Rachel Anderson, a Senior Editor at The Stream. We discuss this column, 18 Reasons (So Far) Leaked Podesta Emails Reveal Dishonest Side of Clinton, Her Campaign and Media Collusion, which no one in the mainstream media seems to want to discuss.

Another great show. Even got MJ to return with a great Super (snicker)… a great Super Bowl… (snicker snicker)… okay, a pretty girly drink.
He lives in North Carolina and he forgot there was a Super Bowl game the next day.
Hmmmm…..
Our guest is Brandon Finnegan from the Decision Desk HQ, a great website and newsletter for political junkies like me. Brandon also does election analysis and actually was the first to call the results of the 2016 Iowa caucus. He’s a really great guy and super-smart. We discussed the Iowa caucus, the upcoming New Hampshire primary and the election season so far.

It’s a new year and a new season. Ben, Tom, MJ and I return with one hell of a show!
For some reason, after Tom’s business news of the week and Dave’s joke, Ben and I started talking about dieting and health. I guess if you hang around long enough, all conversations eventually lead there.
Our guest this week is Jim Cameron, from the Talking Transportation blog, to discuss the issues facing CT residents in the new year, the future of rail in the Northeast, as well as some of the on-going issues around the state regarding our transportation system.
Really fascinating discussion.
Enjoy!
