    A Conversation with Gov Ned Lamont

    A Conversation with Gov Ned Lamont

    Gov. Ned Lamont sits down with CT Mirror Capitol Bureau Chief Mark Pazniokas to talk about the current budget process and his vision for his second term. Lamont won a convincing reelection last year as a defender of the fiscal guardrails that have capped spending and pushed the state to use its historic run of budget surpluses to fill the rainy day fund and begin paying down Connecticut’s considerable pension debt.

    Is that what the governor sees as his mandate and mission for the next four years, imposing fiscal discipline on a state that has the second-highest per-capita debt in the U.S. and has struggled through much of the past three decades to grow jobs and the economy?

Return to political conversation

It was good to find a podcast that talked about the politics of Connecticut. I missed the program John had when he was on NPR.
