Laura Soll, Board Member of the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank, joined Brad to talk about how the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank is appreciative to Windsor resident George Saponare for opening his amazing holiday-decorated home to the public during three December weekends - AND to the scores of people who visited, bringing donations of food and funds. This generous effort generated 625 pounds of nonperishable food and over $1,500 in funds for the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank. What a wonderful holiday gesture of goodwill by all! Thanks to all of you who helped to make it a success.

STATE AUDITOR ROB KANE spoke to Brad about how State auditors, ‘stonewalled’ from information, seek more access. The state’s two independent auditors are asking for unfettered access to state data and other contract-related information that state contractors hold for state agencies. Auditors of Public Accounts John C. Geragosian and Robert J. Kane are seeking a clarification to state law because they say some contractors are impeding their watchdog office’s requests for information.

Sen. Henri Martin from Bristol joined Brad and Gary because of the special sessions in CT, along with a capitol update.
