Jolly Ned spread the unhappiness today by announcing that on Wednesday, the day he's chosen to not reopen the economy, hair cutting shops, which were supposed to reopen, will be part of the big list of businesses not reopening.

It's another fun Saturday show with Todd and Producer Mike. We talk lots of Covid, the destruction of the CT and American economies, and whether policy around the virus response has become too politicized. We're also joined by Joe Laporta, a GOP candidate for states senate in the 12th district that includes towns like Branford, North Branford, Madison, and Guilford.

Len Suzio is running for a return to the state senate. He's here to discuss the issues he's thinking about right now, which have a lot to do with China and it's role in hiding the danger of the Covid virus from the rest of the world and allowing it to spread.

The governor justified his hiring of a $2 million Boston consulting firm to reopen the state by saying that he's still learning the business of state government. We discuss whether this is a wasteful expenditure or a wise one.

Later in the hour, Dr. Renee Kurtz, a dentist from Cheshire, explains that even dentists can make their offices safe. Especially dentists!

We talk some Covid, for sure, with Michael Harrison. But happily, Todd and Michael drift off of the virus and onto some music industry, media industry, radio industry and pop culture topics - like they used to do in the pre-virus days!

Former gubernatorial candidate and tech entrepreneur Steve Obsitnik joins us to talk about how the future might be different for Connecticut after the virus.

Rep Mike France is the head of the Conservative Caucus in the General Assembly. We have him on to discuss the need for our elected representatives, on ice as a result of the governor's emergency declaration, to assert themselves and insist on an end to the dictatorship of King Corona (Jolly Ned) now that the Covid emergency has passed.

Between calls from listeners, we talk politics, and non-shutdown shutdowns, with former state Senator Joe Markley. It's fun.

Ned, the governor who says he doesn't like that he called the Reopen Committee a Reopen Committee because he didn't shut down the economy, is spending $2 million to hire a Massachusetts consulting firm to help him Reopen the Economy. Where is George Orwell when you need him?

Brent McCall discusses how prisons work, and how poorly they do in striving to achieve their number 1 goal - preparing inmates to not return to prison once released. McCall has served 24 years in the state prison system.
