and with connecticut fast track, more people are riding connecticut transit buss to work. it's exceeding all initial projections. average ridership is ago high as 19,000 people per weekday. [ applause ] and finally, on the criminal justice front, connecticut is leading the nation in reform. it is now safer than it has been in 50 years. [ applause ] our prison population has dropped significantly, and i want to underline this, high risk, violent offenders are serving more of their sentence than they have ever served before under any other governor. and recidivism has declined substantially, as well. [ applause ] this progress has allowed us to save the taxpayers $70 million in the current fiscal year. all of this work, all of it, is making connecticut a better, more desirable place to work and to live. i need to do one other thing now, because i would be remiss if i don't take a moment to stress the importance of repredictability and stability in the wake of november's presidential election. i have no desire to rehash or reanalyze the results. we all get plenty of that from

or break the economy here in connecticut. but i would say that the symbolism, the perception that changed with the g.e. decision is certainly a challenge for the state and something that we've been wrestling with a bit. >> reporter: connecticut is wrestling with contradictory economic forces. it's home to 13 billionaires and the state has the highest per capita income in the country. but it also has the highest per capita debt; the state is $23 billion in the red, and its pension fund for teachers and state workers is one of the country's most underfunded. in 2014, george mason university economists ranked connecticut dead last of the 50 states in fiscal health. >> a lot of not-so-good choices in front of us, but we have to make the hard choices. >> reporter: in the past two years, connecticut governor dan malloy and the state legislature have chosen to make deep cuts in education and construction projects and laid off more than 1,000 state employees. the state has also raised its personal income tax and added a surcharge tha

i went to public schools in connecticut and my mother went to public schools in weathersfield, connecticut. they met in public schools in weathersfield, connecticut. my wife went to a public school in connecticut and my kids go to public school today. i'm trying to figure out why my office got 13,000 phone calls and emails with regard to this nomination, i think it's because public education is so deeply connected to who we feel we are as a country. we feel that we're the most powerful, most affluent nation on earth because of our unique commitment to public education -- this idea that in order to succeed, you needed, first, to have access to learning -- to the ability to read and write and do arithmetic, to be able to think creatively about science and the history of your country and your people, but also because public education is personal. when we talk about who we are -- when we all think about our own personal biographies, it starts with where we went to school. now, not everybody went to public school, but the vast majority of people in this country went to public school. when you t

do you compete, connecticut isn't competing. that's the concern of some of your constituents, not all the publicans are right wingers it's a pretty democratic state, people saying holy smokes, $1.7 billion budget deficit. i'm not saying it's all your fault but it's set to rise, laying off teachers. how does your action today, make the lives of taxpaying residents better, it's the question. >> we have not laid off teachers. don't know where you're getting that. >> tucker: hartford is about to lay off teachers. the city is going in silence. >> i was a mayor for 14 years, one of the lowest crime rates in america investing in schools and housing. we know how to do those things, i'm not the mayor of hartford, there is a new mayor of hartford. >> tucker: but it's your capital city, is not insignificant. >> it's certainly not insignificant. that's why the progress that's being made now with lower crime, now with more housing opportunities are important, we need to continue to make those. let me go back to the point. what you're arguing

the vehicles wrecked on connecticut avenue. this is in kensington, maryland, and forced road closures in that area. news 4's darcy spencer talked to somebody who was in a similar crash, darcy? >> reporter: erica, montgomery county's action team is still on scene here, what you're looking at is the crash here. the police are taking measurements and taking pictures and collecting evidence. from what we understand, the driver who was not in the race and who was crashed into remains in critical condition. montgomery this crash scene may be the result of a race between two drivers on connecticut avenue and kensington, one of these two cars possibly involved in the race. the driver of the other car was trying to make a turn from connecticut to denfeld avenue when he was t-boned. this woman was involved in a similar crash a year ago. >> it makes me mad, really, criminal, it's irresponsible. and i think somebody will probably end up in prison for this one, though, it's pretty bad. >> reporter: the crash happened at 5:30 p.m., police sa

first from trace on what is going on in connecticut and other parts of the country, trace? >> reporter: martha, we know the biggest cities like new york and chicago and others say they will not work with the federal government when it comes to the illegal immigrants. now governor map loy sent a letter saying they should not cooperate with ice. they are not requests. they are not warrants or order ares and this should only be honored as set forth in connecticut by law unless accompanied by judicial warrant and police should not allow ice agents to question those in custody. >> the idea that you decide which laws to agree or not to follow undermines our entire rule of law. and i would suggest that is not a great sign to be sending to the people of connecticut and the people of this country. >> reporter: governor maloy said he wants everyone to be supported fair areally under the law. but what about 25-year-old casy chadwick in june 2015 was stabbed to death in her apartment by an illegal haitian immigrant who was just released from prison. federal agents said he is be deporte

when i left connecticut are things called the connecticut state news bureau, and i sold it which was ridiculous because the next person did make any money either, but the next person put a big banner over one of the desks in the pressroom that said connecticut state news bureau. and then after about two years it went bankrupt and stop doing it. this was in like the late 70s, early '80s. and i was talking to somebody there the other day and they said you do, that desk is still there with the matter because nobody has used it since 1982. it's just been sitting there because nobody covers come on sorry, i'm really babbling on bubut i have been passionate abt the subject. >> thank you. that was great. i appreciate that. we now can take some questions and i think either microphones exhibition microphone there and there and it looks like -- >> you have had the privilege of watching the evolution of journalism from the typewriter to the computer to journalists and revered to now dealing with the fake news and the tweets of the headline. and i've heard a lot of people lately saying i never s

murphy from connecticut to come here from connecticut to come see us. we're honored to have you here. i've known the senator for probably 11 or 12 years. i knew him when he was a senate -- when he was in the connecticut state senate and then when he ran for congress we got to know each other and now the senate. and i want you to know that he -- he sort of violated the senate rules by being a very active junior senator from connecticut. he's not laid back. he has a point of view. he's working across the aisle with -- with republicans. he has famously involved himself in gun control, particularly -- famously also had a filibuster which he started on his own to get a gun control bill. he's been active in many domestic areas. but what astounded me in my experience with him over the last many years is a degree to which he has become such a knowledgeable person on foreign affairs. he travels. he talks. and he listens. and i watched him perform among many different audiences. and there are few people in the senate that i know and i met 50 over the last two yea

the senator from connecticut is speaking there but they are trying to delay. at the moment senate is 50/50 and it doesn't look like anyone else will defect to the other side so this could be a vote 50/50 decided by vice president mike pence. >> let's turn to the court hearing tonight on the immigration -- hinting at a potential out that? >> reporter: the government is very adamant that this travel ban need to go into place, but one of the arguments that they did make, they said at the very minimum, the ban should be only covering students and teachers, because the state's case rests on those people who have been in the united states on visas for students and work permits going abroad and who want to come back. so in this brief, the federal government says that the state at the very minimum it should only cover those students and teachers. >> all right. thank you. >>> that is a scene we are seeing a lot more lately, reunions for families split up when one person traveled overseas and wasn't allowed back because of the president's travel ban three weeks ago. she

democrat from connecticut, the great state of connecticut. my state right now. senator murphy. thank you. >>> let's get to the weather. connecticut is one of the states being pummelled by the powerful winter storm hitting the northeast for several hours now. the storm bringing blizzard conditions and more than a foot of snow to some areas. parts of the region are experiencing thunder snow, whiteout conditions as well. at least one death in new york city is being blamed on the storm where three inches fell per hour making travel quite treacherous. take look at flight aware's misery map. more than 3200 flights have been canceled today so far. again, it's only 1:15 on the east coast. good friend al roker stayed late for us today. let's start with the thunder snow. for folks who aren't weather geeks like you, what is it? >> if you remember jim cantore freaking out when there was thunder snow going on it is an interesting phenomenon. i first experienced it when i was a college freshman in lake ontario. and you get a very vigorous storm. normally in these storms you have low lying cl

larson of connecticut. congress established the coltsville national historic park at the end of 20 14, the law at that established the park, also established the national park service to utilize a 10,000 square foot building known as the east armry for the purpose of park administration. however, during the planning phase for establishing this new park, local stakeholders and the park service have determined that the colt armory complex is better suited for this purpose. this bill simply makes that change and makes use of the colt armory complex. i support this simple fix to the enabling legislation that responds to the on-the-ground dynamics of this park, and i want to thank the majority and my colleagues on the natural resources committee for expediting review of this legislation. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady reserves. mr. mcclintock. mr. mcclintock: again, mr. speaker, we have no additional speakers and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserve

i enjoyed my time going to school in the state of connecticut. i kind of -- the reality is i think that there is a difference. whether or not what he wants to do is state funds, maybe -- without knowing the exact nature of how he's funding what he's funding, it's difficult. the question i was asked at the time was on how we would be handling it. i think the answer whether it's connecticut or california, is the president's executive order and the president's commitment is to make sure that tax dollars are not used to supreme court programs that are helping people who are not in the country legally and who are not citizens entitled to them. referee: one more question, sean. --years presidents have gone going back to when president

tell that to the working people of connecticut. he's out of step with working people and middle-class people who know that social security does not contribute to the federal budget deficit. it is not the ponzu scheme that congressman mull vain yea -- congressman mulvaney characterizes it as being. it is fashionable on the far right to use that characterization, suggesting it will run out of money unless severe restrictions are put in place, and he has championed those kinds of restrictions. means testing, for example, and raising the retirement age -- those proposals are a disservice to hard-working americans who reached that retirement age having been promised that they would receive social security when they did or work hard to make social security work for them without a means test, without anybody asking them to fill out forms or disclose their incomes and establish standards or tests that make them ineligible. it is true that there are changes to these programs that may be necessary -- in fact, i proposed a plan for enhancing
