CREC's Aura Alvarado and UConn Associate Professor Dr. Charles Venator-Santiago discuss the importance of "one-stop" locations, like the one Alvarado helped get off the ground in Hartford after Hurricane Maria, ultimately welcoming hundreds of displaced families. Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin's Office tells Where We Live the city is ready to partner with community and Hartford groups to help families who may come here and also said “it's not yet clear that we will see anything like the large-scale relocations that we saw five years ago after Hurricane Maria.” New Haven Mayor Elicker's Office tells us, "We have had discussions across city departments and with several of our nonprofit and community partners so that we are prepared as a community to support those in need: whether that's families looking for emergency housing, individuals in need of healthcare, children entering our public schools, and other services and supports.” The Hartford Hispanic Health Council and Junta for Progressive Action in New Haven also told us they've been readying internal relief responses. Bruni Pizarro, executive director for Junta for Progressive Action in New Haven, recently co-authored a column on how Connecticut resettlement agencies are "underutilized." She wrote that many organizations like Junta "face uncertain and inadequate funding, imperiling their capacity to respond to future climate-related disasters."   GUESTS: Dr. Brenda Rivera-García: Senior Director, Latin America and Caribbean Programs for Americares Sammy Vega: President, CICD-Puerto Rican Parade in Hartford; Founding Member, Coalition of Connecticut Puerto Rican Parades & Festivals Relief Committee Aura Alvarado: Director of Communications and Community Relations, CREC Education Dr. Charles Venator-Santiago: Faculty Director, Puerto Rican Studies Initiative at the University of Connecticut Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For so many other countries, rail travel is mainstream – you can get inexpensive train tickets in the blink of an eye, get to your destination at practically any time of day, and in some places, just going to the station itself is an experience. We’ve long talked about the benefits of East-West rail, but an equally important relationship for Western Mass is the Connecticut Valley. The Hartford line on CT rail has been a big success and if we do it infrastructure improvements right, we can build on its success and seize the economic opportunity improved rail service across New England could bring. This week, I sat down with my friend and Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin to talk about what all that could mean for our region – this is that conversation.

A race that grew more contentious over time came to a close on Tuesday, as incumbent Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin won the Hartford Democratic primary. He won handily, defeating former Mayor Eddie Perez and State Rep. Brandon McGee Jr. by a comfortable margin. How do we make sense of the numbers? And if Bronin wins re-election in November, how does he take the city out of what he’s referred to as “fragile stability?” Hartford metro reporter Rebecca Lurye gives us the lowdown on the latest Capitol Watch podcast.

The lights were blazing, the cameras were rolling, and things got a little personal, as incumbent Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, former Mayor Eddie Perez and State Rep. Brandon McGee Jr. squared off for the last time before Tuesday's primary. The live television debate was hosted by News Channel 8 at The Hartford Courant. The Democratic primary takes place on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin is seeking a second term. He faces challengers Brandon McGee Jr. and Eddie Perez in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary. Last week, Bronin sat down with Courant publisher/editor in chief Andrew Julien, content director Rick Green, senior content editor Leslie Cory and editorial writer Stephen Busemeyer. Over the course of an hour, he discussed downtown development, city finances, education, crime, and much more. Capitol Watch was there, with a ton of microphones. We hope to present similar extended interviews with Mr. McGee and Mr. Perez in the near future. The editorial board has already invited both candidates to 285 Broad Street.

Luke Bronin has been mayor of Hartford since 2016. Now, with the mayoral primary race just around the corner, Bronin is hoping that Democratic voters in the city will choose him as their party’s nominee. This hour, we sit down with Mayor Bronin. We ask him to reflect back on his term in office, and ask him: What are his plans for Connecticut’s capital city if he is reelected? What questions do you have for Mayor Bronin?Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
