Comptroller Sean Scanlon as Lawmakers gather at the Capitol Building in Hartford for the first day of the legislative session on January 8, 2025.

In addition to handling all official state records, the Connecticut state comptroller acts as the official state financial watchdog.

From a major audit of the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities and responding to unpredictable federal funding freezes, this office is having a very busy fiscal year.

Today, Comptroller Scanlon joins us in the studio. We hear about Connecticut’s current fiscal state and this office’s priorities for the coming fiscal year.

GUESTS:

  • Connecticut State Comptroller Sean Scanlon
  • Keith Phaneuf: Connecticut Mirror, state budget reporter
