The latest news tells us Hartford may be the next sactuary city, ala New Haven style. Dustin Gold tells us New Haven has already spent over $71 million on the illegals since becoming a sanctuary city.

If you're not in favor of having your tax dollars applied toward aiding and comforting those who have entered our country illegally, call Dustin Gold and the Community Watchdog Project at 888-9CWDOGS to find out how you can prevent Hartford from "going sanctuary."

Arpaio has been called "America's Toughest Sheriff" for his controversial approach to operating the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, mainly in regard to his treatment of inmates.

Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, Sheriff Joe spent time with Dan Lovallo and discussed Hartford in detail as compared the the issues Sheriff Joe has overcome in Maricopa County.

May: Kevin Brace and Todd Sokolowski, Correctional Officers at Northern Correctional Institution in Somers, in studio for a full hour, taking calls and answering questions about the CT Correctional system. A lot has happened to place our state's Correctional System in the news since Kevin and Todd last visited. If you missed the show, check it out now for a first-hand look at what goes on inside these fortified bastions, from those who live the experience day-in and day-out.

Update: Officers Brace and Sokolowski continued to plead with legislators for basic safety equipment, with no results. Still, nothing has been achieved in the way of increasing the safety of our men and women who put themselves on the line every day to secure our state prisons, or to address overcrowding.

The Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee discussed a proposed new delivery tax last week and surprisingly, the democrats pushed the tax through the finance comittee on a party-line vote, even though little is known about the tax and many questions remained unanswered.

The heated debate over whether to allow undocumented immigrants to attend public colleges and universities at the same tuition rate other Connecticut residents pay could soon reignite at the state legislature.  Under a bill introduced by state Rep. Felipe Reinoso, D- Bridgeport, Connecticut students living in the country illegally would pay in-state tuition rates at all state public colleges and universities, rather than the pricier out-of-state rates they must pay now.  A similar bill was passed by the state legislature along partisan lines last year after a hard-fought debate, but Gov M. Jodi Rell vetoed the measure. Another bill, introduced by Senate Majority Leader Martin M. Looney, D- New Haven, takes a more limited approach, offering in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants at only the state's community colleges. Looney, who supported the more expansive bill last year, said the pared down measure would cost less but still help many low-income families and establish a foothold on the issue.

The CT Democratic Party seems bent on committing hari-kari over immigration. Despite overwhelming public rejection of illegal immigration, a Democratic legislator wants to fly in the face of public opinion. What is apparent is the CT Democratic Party has become a party that is totally controlled by the Latinos and will ignore completely White and African-American workers, and legal Hispanic voters for that matter.

Speaker of the House, Jim Amann

Facing a rising tide of complaints, leading state lawmakers have agreed to take a look at the controversial law that would largely prohibit out-of-school suspensions beginning in the fall. Senator Caligiuri has voted against the bill in the past and he continues to state that the law is flawed and at the very least needs to be modified.
