This hour, on the last day of the legislative session we speak with a Connecticut state senator who has played a key role in issues of race and criminal justice, including a proposal to legalize recreational cannabis.

Did this session bring more fairness to people of color involved in the justice system?

Guests:

  • Connecticut State Senator Gary Winfield -- General Assembly Judiciary Committee Co-chair
  • Susan Bigelow -- Columnist for CT News Junkie

We want to hear from you.
